About the Author

Lida Lafferty was looking for sources of healthy food for her bees when she happened upon lavender. As the lavender bloomed, the bees were smitten and her journey began from the field to the table. She enjoys the chemistry of cooking and reactions to adventuresome fusions. Lida wrote the first cookbook for the Lavender Association of Western Colorado in 2011, with updates in 2012 and 2013. The next revision saw not only additional recipes but the advancement to the very first eCookbook for lavender. Lida lives in western Colorado with her family. She is a speech pathologist and charter member of the Lavender Association of Western Colorado.

‘Spike it with Lavender: Recipes for Living’ is her second book.

Lida Lafferty won third place for ebooks with the CIPA EVVY Awards, the Colorado Independent Publisher’s Association, in 2017.
