Culinary Uses and Pairings
Use dried lavender buds to create herb mixes, lavender sugar, or homemade vinegar. Their unique flavor complements honey, vanilla, lemon, and thyme. Try them in shortbread, syrups, vinaigrettes, or even as an accent in savory meat dishes and potatoes.
DIY: Lavender Vinegar Recipe
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons dried lavender, 750 ml white wine vinegar

Inspiration from Mediterranean Cuisine
Lavender is often used in Southern European dishes. In France, it appears in Herbes de Provence, alongside thyme, rosemary, and savory. It complements poultry, fish, and grilled vegetables and is also used in artisanal salts and infused oils.
Creative Kitchen Ideas
Lavender combines beautifully with other herbs such as savory, rosemary, marjoram, and oregano. Create a custom herb blend or use it to flavor chocolate or creamy desserts like panna cotta or ice cream.
