We are also lucky enough to be able to share exclusively with our readers a recipe provided specifically for publication in this volume of The Culinary Library from one of Australia's most awarded and respected chefs, Dan Hunter. His rhubard, licorice, almond and citrus dessert with edible flowers and leaves can be found on pages 145-148 of Edible Flowers & Leaves and a google image search will show you just how amazing this dessert is and how lucky we are to have Dan's generous support. There is a comprehensive chapter on microgreens, what they are and how to grow them. Experienced gardeners will find this exciting and those new to gardening might find the inspiration to begin.
