Cooking with flowers

Cooking with flowers

A plate decorated with violets certainly looks good but to cook a dish with these flowers the most important thing is to understand their flavour.

At the Festival della Cucina dei Fiori, the festival for cookery with flowers, you can learn all about the many wild flowers that grow on the hills around the town and how to use them in your cooking.
 
A joint venture with the Associazione Ristoranti della Tavolozza, this 4-day event is devoted to anyone with a keen interest in good food, hiking, and foraging (picking wild herbs and plants). Through the tastings, workshops, show cooking, cookery lessons, and walks in the hills you can learn how to recognise edible wild flowers and how to use them in your recipes.

Show cooking and tastings

A real treat to see chefs and professionals in action as they prepare delicacies with edible flowers and tell little secrets of the trade. 

Gourmet moments not to be missed

Edible flowers will be the stars of two gourmet events that are not to be missed.

Experienced chefs will delight even the most discerning palates with simple and imaginative proposals balanced between tradition and innovation, while horticultural cuisine will be the main theme of the sensory brunch with delicious "plant based" products.
