Lavender provides a lightly floral and sweet flavor to many dishes. It might not be the first spice grabbed off the rack, but it does have a place in many meals. Get creative and try using a bit now and then and just see what comes.

Marinade: Include 2 teaspoons fresh lavender (or 1 teaspoon dried lavender blossoms) in marinades for beef or chicken for a delightfully floral twist.
