We are incredibly lucky to have Camille Aubert to create this gorgeous and delicate soup. What we love is that she has used only a small number of ingredients to come up with something so beautiful. It even sounds beautiful! Strawberries and Lavender are both pollinated by bees so it makes is even more special to combine these with honey.

Honey is a delicious ingredient in soup, often used in mediterranean recipes to compliment floral or fruity tones. It can often be tricky to balance the flavours so as not to overwhelm one particular aroma. This is why working with ingredients such as lavender can take a little time to balance the right quantities. As our palates differ from one another it really is a case of trial and error - find out what you like and make a note of it in your recipe book for next time.

This looks amazing! I bet using the rest of the Rose on a summers day would be a wonderful combination!
