“ Lavender was a favourite flavouring in the cooking of Tudor and Elizabethan England, used as a relish to be served with game, roasted meats, with fruit salads, sprinkled over sweet dishes, or as a sweetmeat in its own right, ” says Judyth McLeod in her book Lavender, Sweet Lavender.
” Tjūdoru un Elizabetes laika angļu virtuvē lavanda bija iecienīta garšviela. To pasniedza kā piedevu pie medījumiem, cepešiem, augļu salātiem, ar to apsmidzināja saldos ēdienus vai arī to iecukuroja, ” raksta Džūdita Maklauda grāmatā Lavender, Sweet Lavender.
