Brunch in the Garden

In her blog, lovelygreens.com, Tanya Anderson says she’s a practical gardener who loves to grow plants to use in homemade beauty products, artisan crafts for the home and recipes. She might be practical, but the results are undeniably...lovely. These recipes from Tanya’s new book are a perfect way to celebrate the warm weather with a brunch in the garden, with ingredients from the garden.

“What makes this frittata recipe unique is nasturtiums. Use both the leaves and the flowers to season the dish with a light peppery flavor. The amount in the recipe replaces the usual black pepper, but you can add more if you want it to be spicier.

Though this dish looks pretty fancy, it’s easy to replicate. The yellow of the egg and red and green of the vegetables set the stage. With this backdrop, the texture and colour of the edible flowers can’t help but look fabulous.”
