We all love to eat whether it be a satisfying meal for one or entertain with a cosy meal for two or a more formal meal for friends and family. Apart from the food looking good enough to eat we also want to make our table look nice and usually once the table or tray is laid it is adorned with perhaps a single stem rose; a few flowers from the garden or a more elaborate centrepiece. This blog is combining the two food and flowers and to make everyday a pleasurable entertaining day.

The recipes that we will use in this blog are from names we all know and love and that reside in paper or hardback form somewhere on our bookshelves, some are my own creations. The premade food is easy to get hold of and tasty too. The floral creations will be made by me. So let's eat......and smell the flowers.....
