I took Tetes-des-Moines Cheese, a very tasty swiss Cheese instead of the goat cheese and it turned out to be absolutely great!! I entertained and needed about 30 blossoms, my zucchini and squash plants didn't provide this amount, so I took pumpkin flowers too (Hokaido pumpkins), they work very well.<br /><br />I just found your site a couple of days ago (I wished I would have earlier...) and I am addicted to it. I live in Germany and some of your ingredients are not available here, so I need to substitute. That's even more fun.<br /><br />Thanks again, I can't wait for the white gazpacho recipe :-)Bavarianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-58879977344238519682012-06-26T23:43:19.668-04:002012-06-26T23:43:19.668-04:00Holy Goat cheese!

Here's another variation with ricotta and garden herbs, although Viviane removes the stamen from the flower first, due to its bitterness.
