[Sca-cooks] RE: peppermint

[Jill Brown]

Oh, I agree....pinch your flowers, so you get bushier plants, but by all 
means, don't get rid of them...nasturtiums, johnny jump ups (small pansy), 
pansies, viola, feverfew, mint, calendula...the list goes on and on....one 
thing I used to do w/tulips is cut the stamen, etc, out and fill the petal 
bowl up w/choc mousse...haven't in years, but pretty and fun....I would put 
them in salads and even vegetable dips, on cakes, etc.
Have fun...experiment...I am at work, but I can give you a couple book 
recommendations for cooking w/edible flowers...
