This sounds like a very interesting combination. It's fun to get some flowery recipes for WHB. Yes, the wonderful search engine created by Elise is a lot of fun.

I think the best trick I've learned for doing this is the removal of the white tendon on the meat. I prefer it when the duck doesn't shrink. The meat seems a little more tender, cookes evenly AND it feels like you get more! Freya, isn't lavender wonderful? I can't believe it went out of fashion for so long! Johanna, let us know what you use the lavender syrup for. I've also seen the flower used with peaches in desserts so I imagine that the apricot and lavender jam must have been gorgeous. Helene, I hope it works out! I think using your fresh flowers as a garnish would look wonderful alongside a lavender flavoured dish!

I'll have a look when I get home. You've just reminded me that I was supposed to send another blogger the mackerel and tamarind recipe from it ages ago! Whoops! Hi Trig, email on its way. Hi Katie, you've just reminded me of something I should add to my post - you need to make sure it is unsprayed lavender to make sure it is fit for eating. Good luck in finding some. Hi Sher. Thanks! I am very fussy about cooking my duck. It just kills me when it is overcooked! Hi Lea, OF COURSE you can come round to dinner when you visit London. That is providing I'm not still living with a pair of anal retentives that will go all funny if I get us ostrich liver.
