The whole flowers can be used to add a floral taste to cakes, biscuits, desserts and savoury dishes – it pairs particularly well with honey. It’s a common ingredient used in the Province region of the South of France – look out for lavender-infused honey, lavender marshmallows or refreshing lavender sorbet.

The booming gin industry is always looking for ways to surprise its loyal customers, and lavender has been finding its ways into a variety of gins. But it takes a skilled distiller to know how to get the best from lavender.
