Margaret Bushby Lascelles: Exploring the Riches of Nature Meet Margaret Bushby Lascelles, a passionate explorer and connoisseur of nature's treasures. Her journey takes her through lush rainforests and exotic plantations, where she uncovers the secrets behind some of the world's most sought-after ingredients. In her quest for knowledge, Margaret encounters Theobroma cacao, the magical cocoa pod that holds within it the essence of chocolate. She learns about its cultivation and processing techniques from dedicated farmers who have mastered this ancient craft. Moving on to Piper nigrum, she discovers the pepper vine that adds a fiery kick to dishes around the globe. With each step along its winding tendrils, Margaret gains an appreciation for its versatility and unique flavor profiles. Nyrustuca moschata introduces her to nutmeg – a spice cherished for centuries due to its warm aroma and distinctive taste. As she navigates through spice markets filled with fragrant piles of cloves (Caryophyllus aromaticus), Margaret becomes captivated by their ability to enhance both sweet and savory creations. Her exploration also leads her towards Gentiana sp. , an enchanting purple gentian flower known for its medicinal properties. Fascinated by its healing potential, Margaret delves into traditional remedies passed down through generations. The vibrant Psidium pyriferum or red guava catches her eye next – a tropical fruit bursting with juicy goodness. Its tangy sweetness leaves an indelible mark on her palate as she savors every bite. Amongst dense foliage stands Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) C016 / 5659 - a mystical fruit revered in Southeast Asia for both its exquisite taste and health benefits. Its succulent white flesh is like no other; it transports Margaret into realms unknown.
