Sink your teeth into something botanical.

Is there anything better on this Earth than some pretty-looking flowers? They zhuzh up our abodes, brighten up our gardens (even weeds!) and, as it turns out, they also make for some yummy treats that taste just as lovely as they look. If you’re curious about adding some more botanical goodness to your meals, spy our list of recipes below.

ORANGE BLOSSOM ALMOND CAKE This recipe – made by Molly from mynameisyeh – features the fragrant flavour of orange blossom, a flower often used in perfumes since it smells so dang nice. It's also accompanied by almonds, lemon and other tasty treats, and you can check out the full recipe here.

FLORAL GOAT CHEESE WITH DILL AND CRACKED PEPPER We’re big fans of this recipe we found from The Merry Thought, since it’s heaps easy to make but still looks fancy. Simply press flowers onto a log of goat cheese, chill for a few hours and then bust out the crackers to enjoy a super-luxe spread. The full recipe is this-a-way.

STRAWBERRY HIBISCUS AND COCONUT CAKE If we could compress the vibes of a tropical summer into one tasty dish, we reckon that it would look and taste a lot like this super-cute cake made by The Polka Dotter. Check out the recipe and method for yourself over here.

ROSE AND ELDERFLOWER LEMONADE We wish that we could hand out prizes for the very best sounding bevs just from a name alone, since this Camille Styles’ creation would win first prize. Treat yourself and your mates to this refreshing thirst-quencher by reading how to make it here.

FLORAL MACARON ICE CREAM SANDWICHES You might wonder why we're showing you a cold treat while it's also chilly outside, but there is a method to our madness. The cold weather is the perfect time to practice this dessert since by the time it becomes summer, you’ll have mastered this dessert to perfection (plus, fewer chances of melting!). Take a gander at Aww Sam’s recipe right here.

We hope you enjoyed these botanical recipes. If you’ve got a hankering for more super-delish treats, check out our lists on how strawberries, peaches and lemons can also become the main stars of some yummo dishes.
