Amsterdam is an inspiration for anyone in need of colorful stimulation. The flora abounds from the Keukenhof gardens to the extraordinary selection of stunning flower specimens in the flower market. This enlightens even to the most mundane admirer. When in Amsterdam, a visit to Duikelman is Amsterdam’s go to cook shop. It is culinary must. Bring edible flowers to your dining experience. Ordered online, the quality control is excellent. From micro buds to sunshine squash blossoms, all can be purchased. Add a touch of Borage to canapés, enhance soup with floating Marigolds and showcase a fillet of fish with Basil blossoms all done with glorious blooming flora. Need a quick and flavorful dessert, sauté sliced Dutch apples and serve with a sprinkle of ginger jam and cinnamon dust. The slices can be arranged in the shape of butterflies and decorated with fresh edible flowers…for that sought after conversational table buzz! © Kelly McBride Loft
