Teach Soap

I took a cooking class and one of the dishes was a lavender creme brulee. (AWESOME, btw). One of the ingredients was lavender buds. I asked what kind he used. He said, "lavender." I said, "what kind of lavender?" He says, "These purple buds." I said, "English? Provence? Spanish? Officianalis?" He blinked at me and said, "There are different kinds?"

Grrrr! Why is it that some people that teach classes don't much about their ingredients?

So Dixie, do the lavender buds stay lavender in the crème brulee?

They do! The recipe used a teeny tiny amount - each dish held about 1/2 cup of creme brulee and had 3-4 buds in it, then candied lavender was sprinkled on top. Very pretty and yummy!

Sounds very upscale!
