The True Flavor of Provence
by Laura Burke
Summer is officially here, and you know what that means.. the summer cookouts are in full swing! Looking for ideas to make that ‘quelque chose différent?’ Try using our organic culinary lavender, a staple herb in la nourriture de Provence. Make a lavender coffee cake, lemon lavender butter cookies, or use our Herbes de Provence recipe to liven up an old dish.
Need something quick? Stir up a batch of lavender lemonade (some of you may remember the tastings from the shop)!
Here’s a recipe for a new take on avocado dip using culinary lavender—perfect for those upcoming
backyard BBQs!

2 ripe avocados
lemon juice
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 T culinary lavender, finely ground
1/2 cup plain yogurt or low-fat sour cream
1/2 cup of your favorite salsa
