I love Nasturtiums and have used them as garnish or in oils - but I love the idea of stuffing the flowers, almost like a courgette flower! Thank you!

This is lovely. I can't wait to try making a nastartium pesto... it will be picquant and crisp, I'm sure. 🌸

Thank you Dany, I’m thrilled you have caught the nasturtium passion. Do let me know how your pesto goes.

I will, Lisa. Once I find a farmer at market who can get some for me. I left my home in Adelaide a few years ago, where winter nastartium was abundant. Now, I have no room to grow anything, except a little cactus plant on my table. Oh, do I ever miss my garden!!!! 🌸

Thank you for the mention Lisa. I noticed that there are still a good sized bowlful to collect in the garden, so will take them this weekend.

I find your words inspiring Will, so happy to spread the word. I’d love to know what you do with a bowl of nasturtium flowers.
