      Disclaimer: Edible flowers are wonderful additions to just about any dish. Some flowers are poisonous, however, so it is essential to confirm that any flowers you intend to use for culinary purposes are of a nonpoisonous variety that is safe to eat. It is also crucial that these flowers have not been treated with chemical sprays. Throughout this cookbook, you’ll find many recipes that call for edible flowers. To be sure that you have correctly identified ones that you intend to use, refer to a field guide to edible plants or consult an expert. And remember, common names are not reliable; use Latin names for positive identification of plants and flowers. Never use flowers from a florist shop in your recipes—they will have been sprayed with chemicals not appropriate for consumption. The author and publisher cannot be held responsible for any illness or injury caused by using in edible flowers in these recipes.
