CHEF'S NOTES
This recipe came to us, not from Provence, but from Bleu Lavande in Quebec's Eastern Townships, in the form of a big basket of lavender products. The owners have learned to turn their harvest into countless products: infusions, jellies, chocolates... This is where you can get lavender to add a ray of sunshine to your cooking.
