My heart leaps up when I behold a flower on my plate… Among
the prettiest things to see on a plate are edible flowers. While they've been a bit
of a haute cuisine fad for a few years and running, there's something more down to earth
about them as well - perhaps redolent of spring/summer or foraging through fields and finding spots of color/taste using whats around.
We’ve been on a little fruit (flower?) less quest to find places in Richmond that have flowers on the plate and not just for decoration. These eye pleasers can be palate pleasers as well, albeit rather rare around, even among the usual suspect restaurants in RVA.
Other than the odd special, recently…success at the very good Dutch&Co. in Church Hill!*
Dessert of Honey Pot with Milk & Honey Puddin', Floral Ice, macerated stone fruit and honey brittle.
Any others in town?
* -@ D&C, the "perfect egg"with cured salmon, quinoa, braised cabbage and cumin yogurt has to be one of the most intriguing appetizers in RVA. And delicious !
