TGRWT #6: Apple and lavender
by Martin Lersch / September 5th, 2007
TGRWT #6 is hosted by Inge over at Vanielje Kitchen (which BTW features a separate blog with recipes only). Deadline is October 1st and the foods to pair this time are apple and lavender. For other details – check out her post. In case you haven’t done so yet, check out Amrita’s excellent round-up of TGRWT #5 which was on chocolate and meat.
Unfortunately I don’t have any odour activity values for the apple/lavender combo, but a search at The Good Scents Company suggests there are several compounds which are found in or used with the two.

Thanks for the link Martin. It seems as if the combo is generating quite a bit of interest already. I can’t wait to see what people make

made an apple pie with an homemade lavender ice-cream once the pie is warmed through placing the ice-cream on top it acts like a sauce as it melts the lavender comes through and the flavours of the two works so well. add a little vanilla to the ice-cream and it seems to enhance the flavour of the lavender a little more
