In cooking, lavender flower is used sparingly to enhance both sweet and savory dishes. In baking, it is added to cookies, cakes, ice creams, and jams, providing a subtle floral fragrance. It is also used in lavender-infused sugar, which can sweeten teas or desserts. In savory dishes, it appears in blends like Herbes de Provence, perfect for meats, fish, and roasted vegetables.

A curious fact is that lavender flower has been historically used in Mediterranean cuisine but has recently gained popularity in modern cooking, even in mixology, where it is used to add an aromatic touch to cocktails and refreshing drinks.
