The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Flowers from Evers & Daughter go well with this.
The candied blossoms from Evers & Tochter give every dessert the perfect patisserie look. Alternatively, the calissons sweeten the wait for the next vacation in Provence.
Flowers in candied form or pure
If you want to make the sight of a dessert even more attractive, the small manufactory Evers & Tochter from Lübeck comes into play.
There you get candied flowers with a sugar solution, which come from a garden in Lübeck, which was planted 700 years ago.
In season, early in the morning there are harvested hedge roses, hibiscus, horned violet, daisy and other flowers.
After a strict control, the flowers are coated by hand with a sugar solution and dried.
Thus, they remain durable for a long time and retain their colors and shape.
Evers & Daughter manufactory makes it a point to emphasize that there is no protein in the solution used for the preparation of the flowers.
Your home becomes a patisserie
A homemade lemon cake gets a touch of haute couture with candied lavender flowers and can inspire even more. A plain scoop of ice cream or a panna cotta looks with the flowers as if the dessert came from the best patissier in town.
The fragile flowers give the decisive kick.
The vacation in France not yet on the horizon? Waiting with calissons.
Calissons, the traditional pastry from Provence, makes the heart of every almond lover beat faster. Legend has it that the cook of King René I d’Anjou invented calissons for the king’s wedding in 1473.
He wanted to cheer up the sad-looking bride of the king. Calissons are reminiscent of a weaver’s shuttle in shape, delicious in flavor, but relatively plain to look at.
The calissons of the manufactory Evers & Tochter are decorated with the flowers of the manufactory and thus also become a feast for the eyes on the dessert plate.
Add a glass of champagne and you and your guests will be in the South of France in your mind. This makes it easy to sweeten the anticipation of the next trip to France, which may still be a long way off.
The hanseatic view far over the horizon
The owner of the manufactory, Angela Evers, used to work as a fashion designer and now runs the small, fine manufactory in Lübeck with her daughter.
It sees itself as committed to tradition in craftsmanship, while possessing the world and far-sightedness that successful entrepreneurs on the coast have always had.
After all, in the early centuries, their entire fortunes were sometimes spent on the oceans, importing spices such as pepper, saffron or other delicacies from exotic countries.
The basic chocolate comes from Normandy
For chocolate specialties, the Evers & Tochter manufactory uses Michel Cluziel’s basic chocolate from the small town of Mesnils sur Iton in Normandy, France.
Like all good chocolatiers, Michel Cuziel makes it a point to work directly with the cocoa farmers on the plantations in Brazil, Guatemala or Madagascar, thus creating transparency about the origin of the cocoa beans.
The upbeat Blossom muesli for Sunday
If it should be on Sunday times a light muesli, the muesli Blütenträume of Evers & daughter could come into the bowl.
There in the mixture of whole oat flakes, sunflower seeds, puffed quinoa, pistachios, chia seeds. Rice whole grain flakes and golden linseed as well as dried petals.
The muesli is not only nice to look at but also so light that a fresh croissant with French jam would still be possible afterwards.
Beautifully looking dried flowers of the manufactory fascinate not only good cooks, Dior, many patissiers and GloriousMe.
Summer on the plate
The sight of edible flowers conjures up summer on the plate, even if it should be raining heavily right now.
Lübeck, the city of the Buddenbrooks, is always worth a visit. However, the flowers of the manufactory Evers & Tochter are also available in their well-functioning online store.
A nice gift for Francophile friends and anyone else who appreciates aesthetic pleasure at home.
