I'm thinking of selling these artisan ice cubes in all shapes and sizes. They are unique miniature art pieces, each unique with various assemblies of flowers and herbs. Slow melting, and they add flavor to your favorite signature cocktails or even water. If you want to add some interest to your next gathering, let me know and I will customize them for you. In case you're thinking of trying this at home, you will find it's incredibly difficult to make a clear ice cube. There is an entire science devoted to that task.

I couldn't bear to confine my flowers to perishable culinary uses, so they are now being immortalized on canvas. Most everything in my art is from the garden (or fridge sometimes). One of my favorites from outside the garden is banana peel, the feature of this piece.

Borage has tiny blossoms and the most spectacular color. Very laborious to grow. They taste like cucumber. One of their classic uses is in ice cubes!

These two herbs I love : Moldavian Dragonhead, beautiful and delicious in stuffed baked potatoes, and Salad Burnett; with fresh tomatoes it tastes like summer.

I discovered you could chocolate dip lily petals, and they make the coolest dessert along with Roquefort cheese, blackberries, and a swallow of Grand Marnier.

If you name a dish or a food, I will find a way to incorporate flowers into it.

After 3 years of experimenting with cooking and growing over 50 varieties of edible flowers and herbs, I will be ramping up next to focus on appetizers and desserts. Working on refining charcuterie board offerings and artisan ice cubes in the test kitchen!
