Adding pops of colour to salads, fllowers have formed part of our diet for thousands of years.

Chinese cooks were experimenting with edible flowers as far back at 3,000 B.C.E. and the Romans used violets and roses in their food as well as lavender in sauces.

Top edible flowers include:

🌸 Cornflower – A sweet-to-spicy clove-like flavour.
🌸 Dahlia – Flavours range from water chestnut and spicy apple to carrot.
🌸 Hibiscus – Great addition to fruit salads or to make a citrus-flavoured tea.
🌸 Honeysuckle – Enjoy the nectar fresh, or use petals make a syrup, pudding, or a tea.
🌸 Magnolia – The young flowers can be pickled or used fresh in salads.
🌸 Nasturtium – Tasting peppery, like watercress, these make a lovely salad addition.
🌸 Pansy – Mild and fresh-tasting, they’re great in a green salad or as a garnish.
🌸 Rose – Lovely in drinks, fruit dishes, jams, and jellies thanks to its delicate fragrance.
🌸 Scented Geraniums– The flavours range from citrussy to a hint of nutmeg.
🌸 Cape Jasmine – Extremely fragrant, they’re ideal for pickling, preserving, and baking.

The Scotch egg, a spherical surprise of yolk, meat and golden breadcrumbs, is one of Britain's most popular snacks.

Allegedly created by the London department store, Fortnum & Mason in 1738, the exact history and etymology of this tasty treat is a bit unclear.

What is certain though is that a plate of them never fails to be gobbled up at a party or event!

With Halloween just around the corner, pumpkins are all around us in abundance. While they're great for carving at this time of year, here are some interesting facts you may not have known about this tasty squash:

🎃 Pumpkins are related to cucumbers, melons and luffas which are all members of the gourd family, and are technically fruits rather than vegetables

🎃 Uncut pumpkins can be stored for up to three months in a dry, dark place. The longer you store them, the sweeter and nuttier the flavour can become!

🎃 Pumpkins are packed with antioxidants like beta-carotene which our bodies convert into Vitamin A, which is essential for healthy skin and eyes, and also helps to strengthen the immune system

🎃 Due to their high potassium content, pumpkins can help lower blood pressure and reduce age-related hearing loss associated with a reduction in potassium levels in the body as we age

🎃 Pumpkin seeds are packed full of key minerals and nutrients, including protein, zinc magnesium, manganese, and copper. They’re also high in vitamin C and a powerful source of fibre.

Did you know that there are over 600 different shapes of pasta?

According to the National Pasta Association, some pasta shapes and sizes vary depending on their use.

Where the smooth texture of calamata allows thin sauces to coat the pasta, the deep conch shape of conchiglie is the ideal partner for meaty sauces and chunky salads.

Which is your favourite shape of pasta?
