i was never really a floral flavor person, partly because i am not a fan of overly feminine thingies, and partly because my sensitive nose is not always happy with the scent. but thanks to my dear friends, they introduced to me rose and lavender so i could learn to appreciate their beauty. <br /> <br />the first floral experience came with a christmas present from casey and ryan almost two years ago. (that being said christmas is coming soon. yay!) it was a rose petal jelly in a jar with hand drawn rose graphic. it looked like so much love was put in the jar, from handpicking the petals to twirling on the top. somehow it was so foreign for me that i took a long while to think about how to make the best use of it. then i made parfait, summer refreshers, and for the first time, i didn't associate floral scent with artificial. <br /> <br />then one day my then-roommate and rose-enthusiast friend asan came up with an idea to make rose cookies following her french home-baking cookbook. it was a lot of fun, and it was the first time the idea of cooking with flowers struck me, in a good way. <br /> <br />as i got more comfortable with flowers, a few months ago v got me some lavenders from the farm, and m had this brilliant idea to make lavender tiramisu. <br /> <br />and... <br /> <br />voilà! this earl grey infused lavender tiramisu was born. such a collaboration of friendship and love. =) <br /> <br />original link to the recipe: http://astro-pie.com/whats-cooking-en//earl-grey-infused-lavender-tiramisu
