Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Edible Flowers guide to Dandelion (Common) along with all the Dandelion (Common) containing recipes presented on this site, with 5 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Cornish recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Dandelion (Common) as a major edible flower.

Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale [syn T. vulgare]) is a common garden weed that is generally overlooked by foragers, however, the young leaves can make a tasty addition to any salad. (Discard any older leaves as they tend to be bitter). The flavour can be improved by growing the dandelion beneath a terracotta pot.

In spring, however, the leaves should be tender and fresh. Nowadays there are even cultivated forms of dandelion bred especially for their leaves which are available from specialized seed merchants. The flower petals of mature dandelion flowers can be used to make wine or can be added to salads and omelettes. Dandelion flower buds are also edible and can be fried in place of, or just like, mushrooms.
