Ingredients

Flowers~ Consider pansies, violets, Johnny-jump-ups, nasturtiums, and marigolds. All are edible with interesting flavors. Use flowers that have not been sprayed with pesticides (some available at gourmet shops and Whole Foods Markets)

Shaved Cheese~ Hard cheeses such as parmesan or pecorino Romano take on an attractive lacy look when shaved paper thin and placed upon an open-faced sandwich

Rolled Cheese~ Cut cheese into 1/4" squares. Put one tsp of olive oil on your hands and roll cheese squares into balls. Then roll in cumin, curry, or finely chopped herbs

Piped Herbed Mayonnaise or Creme Fraiche~ Use an icing flower tip and place a fresh or thawed frozen pea atop the piping

Layer It~ Place a small spinach leaf, with stem, atop an open-faced sandwich. Place a thin slice of hard-boiled egg on top of that and sprinkle with either nutmeg and sea salt, pickled ginger and a dot of wasabi, or a combination of crushed herbs

Chopped Egg & Asparagus~ Finely chop hardboiled eggs, using only half as many whites as yolks, and press onto an open-faced sandwich with a mayonnaise based filling. Upon this, lay a short piece of asparagus

Citrus, Herbs & Spices~ Cut small triangles of fresh lemon or orange, removing peel. Sprinkle lemon triangles with fresh basil or parsley and orange triangles with cinnamon or curry

Grilled Vegetables~ Grill red and green peppers, zucchini, or pearl onions. Cut peppers into strips, zucchini into squares, and leave pearl onions whole

Hearts~ Use a very small cookie cutter to cut hearts from thin slices of pickled beets. Or, cut small hearts from bread, dip in melted butter, and sprinkle heavily with curry before toasting in a 350 degree oven

Herb or Nut Dip~ Cut filled tea sandwiches into triangles and butter the long cut side. Press this buttered side into crushed herbs or very finely chopped nuts
