Food Porn Friday: Cooking with Roses

Romance and roses – they often go hand in hand. Case in point -roses are by far, the top selling flower on Valentine’s Day – its the flower that says “I love you”, and think of all the poems dedicated to The Rose.  Well, imagine taking that deliciously aromatic rose scent and serving it to your loved one in a recipe made with love! Half Baked Harvest whipped up an irresistible Coconut Raspberry Macaroon with Raspberry Rose Buttercream. Think of the simplicity of a refreshing Rose Granita; or the pure seduction of a Rose Pavlova – we have two variations- one with pistachios from The Cake Blog and another with sugared roses petals from Marie Claire magazine; both beautiful presentations and sure to please. We love the combo of rose and ginger as found in the cupcakes by Martha Stewart.  Sipping Rose Mojitos for Sunday brunch- yes please! (Thank you Alley for the inspiration – Sweet and Savory food).
