LADIES WHO LUNCH

A special ladies lunch was a suggested by the lovely BlueCross Livingstone Gardens residents – they wanted an opportunity to dress up a bit and have a relaxed long ‘special’ lunch with just the ladies once a month.

April was a ‘floral’ theme, and while Beef Wellington was the main course, a Rose Petal Crème Brulee was the floral themed dessert. It was a great success so we thought we would share the recipe with you.

Chefs tip

Thinking about adding edible flowers to your dessert?

Rose petals, violets, pansies, and herbaceous flowers too like sage and rosemary work best.

Marigold and Nasturtium petals are often added to salads and of course zucchini flowers stuffed with goat cheese are a classic European dish.
