Lavender Truffles

These truffles are a slice of heaven. The lavender's flavor is earthy but really pops in the chocolate. The chocolate is so silky smooth and is like eating a cloud. Use up to 1/2 cup of cream for a softer lavender filling.

Lavender Ice Cream

Summery lavender ice cream.

By Syd

Peach and Lavender Ice

This lovely and sophisticated sorbet is great for cleansing the palate after a heavy meal. Even though it's mostly fruit, it does taste rather rich; so keep portions small. Freezing time is not included in this total, and will vary depending on your ice cream maker.

Amy's Lavender Lemonade

This is a fabulous summer drink! Lavender soothes and refreshes on a hot day, and the scent brings back fond summer memories. I can't seem to make enough of it for my family.

Baked Pear

This dish is an elegant accompaniment for stuffed Cornish game hens with blue cheese and walnuts. Or serve it alongside any blue cheese dish, such as a blue cheese quiche. Easy and tasty! It also makes a lovely dessert.

Lemon Lavender Avocado Loaf

A light, refreshing loaf that tastes like summer!

Lavender Lemon Bars

I'm totally addicted to using lavender as flavoring. If you think it sounds weird, may I suggest not knocking it like I did until you try it.

Delightful little cookies that add a wonderful atmosphere to any afternoon tea. They have a delicate lavender flavor that is not overpowering at all! My first batch of these cookies disappeared before it had a chance to cool!

Lemon and Lavender Scones

These lovely old-fashioned scones are very light; they will literally melt in your mouth! The recipe is very versatile. Substitute your favorite flavor of yogurt and add a tablespoon or two of a chopped complementary fruit, raisins, or currants instead of the lavender. Serve with honey, fruit preserves, or if you're lucky enough to be able to get it, clotted cream.

Spicy Mediterranean Chicken with Sausage-Stuffed Cherry Peppers

This is an intense food experience, not for the bland palates of the world: succulent chicken thighs, artichoke hearts, olive, pepperoncini, and sausage-stuffed cherry peppers!

Lavender Chicken Pasta

Lemon Lavender Cake

Apricot Lavender Jam

Goat Cheese-Blueberry Ice Cream

Lavender Chicken

Chicken with lavender, bacon and cheese. Everyone appreciates lavender for its scent and flowers, but very few people have tasted it. Its unique flavour blends very well with chicken.

This mood-boosting tea is delicious hot or iced. And fresh lavender and mint from the garden make it even more special!

Instant Pot® Provencal Honey-Lemon Chicken

I love the blend of herbes de Provence, honey, lemon, and lavender. The acidity of the lemon perfectly balances the sweetness of the honey. This dish is always a hit and all five of my children cheer when I place this on the table. I use an Instant Pot®, but this recipe can be easily adapted to be baked in the oven instead. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

Bitter Lemon Soda

This is very much like Krest® Bitter Lemon (found in Africa) or Schweppes® Bitter Lemon (found in Europe). Unfortunately there is nothing comparable found in the USA, but this comes pretty darn close! This is the perfect thirst quencher for a blistering hot day!

Lavender Lemonade with Hibiscus

This recipe was modified from that which I tried at a local restaurant. It was too bitter when I tried it there, so slight modifications were necessary. Hope you all enjoy this recipe.

Banana Blueberry Muffins with Lavender

These muffins are some of the best I've ever tasted. The lavender gives the flavor a slightly fresher taste, bringing out the vibrancy of the blueberries. You've got to try it! Serve warm with soft butter, if desired.

By Suzanne Hale

Made with delicate purple lavender flowers, this slightly sweet and sour lemonade is the drink of the summer! Not only is it super easy to make, it makes any glass-in-hand picture totally Instagram-worthy!

No-Egg Blueberry and Lavender Ice Cream

This paleo-friendly, dairy- and egg-free blueberry and lavender ice cream is incredibly vibrant and tastes delicious. A wonderful alternative to regular ice cream, especially during the summer months when you can gather your own lavender and blueberries.

Watermelon, Strawberry, and Herbs

I am always looking for ways to add herbs from my small garden to my foods. I was so delighted to find that lavender and mint go well together in this mix. Happy eating!

By Christine Alexandra Deer

Lavender and Citrus Sugar Cookies

Delicious lemony sugar cookies with aromatic lavender. Brush the tops with egg whites and sprinkle with lavender and white sugar before baking, or just try them dusted with icing sugar once baked.

By steveblair

Sour Cherry Lavender Jelly

Depending on what type of culinary lavender you use, 1 teaspoon can already give the jelly a pretty intense flavor, so be careful not to add to much.

By nch

Lavender Tom Collins

Lavender brings some yummy sophistication to the classic Tom Collins. You can make your own Collins mix with soda and lavender simple syrup, or try this quick work-around. The flavor will slowly melt, giving the perfect hint of lavender!

By Heather

Lemon-Lavender Cupcakes

Delicious lemon cupcakes with a hint of lavender and creamy lemon frosting. These are not your Mama's cupcakes. Updated with a light, moist texture and just an 'ever-so-subtle' Provencal taste. My husband did not know there was lavender in them. He loved my 'secret' ingredient. Try to eat just one... I dare you!

By Candice

Lemon and Lavender Glazed Lemon Shortbread

A deliciously simple shortbread made with Meyer lemons, and topped with a homemade lavender flower and Meyer lemon glaze. This is an adapted recipe from several I've found over the years, which I combined and perfected from my Grandma's lemon shortbread.

Raw Yam Salad

Aromatic, refreshing, quick and very healthy! Not to mention easy too. A side dish that goes with just about any chicken or fish dinner but can also be enjoyed just as a snack. My mother and I came up with this little specialty about a year ago and has become a staple in our meal planning. I get my lavender and fennel from my local health food store. If you don't have grape seed oil you can use olive oil but the grape seed oil is lighter. Also, white wine vinegar works well as a substitute for rice vinegar. If you find the dressing was not enough to saturate all the yam just add more until desired amount and flavor.
