Great British Chefs presents an unrivalled bunch of flower recipes, including Pascal Aussignac's legendary Primavera tulips and his gladiola petals and spicy violet pearls. Marcus Wareing's gin and tonic granita is decorated with edible flowers for gorgeous presentation, as are many other dishes in this recipe collection.

Another use for flowers is demonstrated by this rosehip syrup, which in truth is made from the fruits of a rose plant rather than roses themselves.
