Flowers in the Kitchen: A Bouquet of Tasty Recipes

This isn't a book you'll enjoy just because the photographs are so pretty. They are, but the recipes are also practical and easy, and the flowers Ms Belsinger uses in her recipes are ones that you probably have even if your garden is just a simple one. The recipes range from easy main dishes (Pasta and Checken Salad with Thyme Blossoms) to charming desserts (Raspberries with Lavender Cream.) I've made Rose Petal Jam for years but her recipe is better than my traditional Sephardic one. There are only 30 recipes included in the book, but there's also a bibliography and index. It's worth the money and would make an inexpensive wedding gift any bride would enjoy.
