The Ojai Valley Lavender Festival welcomes your recipe submission for our 2012 Cookbook. This edition will focus on sweets and delicate savories appropriate for tea time. If your recipe is accepted you will receive a free cookbook and, of course, credit as a Contributor.
The 2011 edition of Lavender Ojai Style is available at Made in Ojai (323 E. Matilija Street) and at The Lavender Inn (210 E. Matilija Street). To order copies by mail, see below. We plan to have an entirely new mini-cookbook in 2012. We’d love to include your favorite recipe incorporating lavender in our next edition -- send it to us at info@ojaivalleylavenderfestival.org. And remember that we are designating all profits from our cookbook sales to the OVLF Scholarship Program.

Here’s a preview recipe just for you:
Lavender Simple Syrup
Use this syrup to make delicious lemonade or enhance a bowl of fresh fruit & berries – our cookbook will show you how!
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups each of water and sugar, and ¼ cup dried culinary lavender. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 3 to 4 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, and cool completely. Strain and pour syrup into an airtight container. Syrup can be stored for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
You may already know that lavender is used in perfumes, and has healing properties. You may even be aware that its aroma adds a lovely element to ice cream, whipped cream and other desserts. Did you know that it also is great in salads, and on vegetables and meats? It’s the hot new cool herb.
