BOUQUET

Are you eating flowers?  I do occasionally, but only when I can buy them directly from the grower or grow them myself due to pesticides.  One of my favorite edible blooms, second only to zucchini blossoms, may be sweet violets.  I like to make a simple syrup infused with violets then make a subtle glaze for sugar cookies or a vinegar for a salad of bitter greens.  The next time you’re at the Farmer’s Market, consider the flowers edible too. This next Call want YOUR view on all things violet–not just the flowers.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from ArtAscent (online) for Violet. Only $25 to enter. Our Featured Artist Sima Schloss, was featured in a past exhibit.  YOU could be next!
