Lavender
Lavender has been used as a culinary herb since Roman and Greek times. It lends a delicate flavour to such dishes as casseroles, scones and ice cream. Its flavour is similar to ginger, with lemony overtones. Lavender can be used in many recipes as a substitute herb for rosemary, for instance, roast lamb with lavender.
