Rosen

The flower of love has always been omnipresent in art and song, in poems and novels, in medicine and cosmetics. Nor are the physical pleasures an invention of our time. They were once widespread all over the world. Cooking with rose petals and with the basics made from them, such as rose water, rose vinegar, rose oil, rose syrup and rose brandy, is also a matter of the senses and the palate, for more than one summer. A rose lassi as a pick-me-up, rosy cream cheese balls for an apero, pasta with rose pesto as a main course and rose zabaglione for dessert can be an introduction to the worlds of flavors of scented and vitamin roses. And when the blooming season is over, we are left to enjoy the rose hips, which are very suitable for desserts and preserves.
