A hint of lavender with creme brûlée does sound wonderful, Gloria. The addition of white chocolate sounds marvelous as well...
ReplyDeleteThanks Javelin:)
DeleteHi Gloria. This must taste heavenly with the lavendar flowers. We don't get fresh lavendar here. Only the dried ones and even that, it's quite expensive.

ReplyDeleteHa ha you are so funny Rebecca:))
DeleteYum, looks delicious. I have never eaten lavender flowers before. I love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteThankd dear.The first time I made something with lavender was an ice cream and was delicious:)
DeleteLavender like rosemary is wonderful in a dish in small measures so as not to overpower the other flavours. I love creme brûlée as well!!
ReplyDeleteLove the hint of lavender which you've added to the brulee. Nice presentation too.
ReplyDeleteOh Gloria, we love Creme Brulee and that looks wonderful. I have some culinary lavender, but rarely use it. I must give it a try on some different things!
