The Feast Goes on at Flower Food Festival
Denise Schreiber had been busy growing nasturtiums, pansies, violets, oregano, bee balm, and scented geraniums for the Edible Flowers Food Fest in South Park. That is until a fire destroyed all the flowers and the recipes for the food fest.
The loss was devastating and it came not long after the passing of Schreiber’s mother, who used to prepare food for the event. But this did not put a stop to the festivities — the buffet dinner will be held rain or shine.
Ms. Schreiber, greenhouse manager said, “She just loved this event and wouldn’t have wanted it to be canceled, so we are going on with it.”
There will be about 13 dishes served, including fresh salsa with pineapple and nasturtiums; raspberry soup; salmon with lemon-verbena infused oil; pasta with meatballs and nasturtium vodka cream sauce; artichoke and chicken salad with jasmine rice, lemon and oregano flowers; and lavender shortbread cookies.
