I have tons of angelica growing in the garden, you can find it in the woods also, and buy seeds online too.

I really got curious about this angelica cake! :) I"d like to try it, but I don"t think I can find the candied angelica stalks in portugal :( Sadly...

And the plant? Do you know how I can find it?

Best regards,
Ang�lica

I have for years grown this plant in northern New Mexico. Not sure where or why I came about this seed. As a curious gardener of seventy years and always when in doubt I toss various seed in the soil and let it happen.....

The smell, the growth is soo very interesting I started to taken photos and now have some to share. I see that these post are old maybe...nobody will see..of well Tomarrow I"m going to candy some for the delight of it..magic. Judy Tuttle

Hello Thom, thanks for your kind words! A beautiful plant indeed, actually I have a French book entirely devoted to Angelica Archangelica. What a poetic inhabitant of the woods! I used a Nikkor 60mm, the old version, great lens, and a 1000W photographic light shot through a translucent umbrella if my memory serves me right. You"ll find 230 other articles on the website with similar pictures mostly.

Hm... a true angel of the botanicus.... you do this great mistress of the soil a great justice... to all of you out there in the caring/ eating ether, give this gem a go, it"s so easy to grow, after all "The Angle" is wild in the Sub Arctic, Greenland, Finland and Russia etc. May I enquire of you as to the lens details that you have used for the page images. The images and the pages are beautiful. Should this beauty not be your best, my devouring soul awaits you next "failure" Hmm.. again.. Should any of you out there wont fresh seed, and you must have fresh seed as it only remains viable generally in the year of growth. May be the Pageist could forward your request to me. Only the cost of Pack/ post would be involved. I will also enclose a growing and preserving note. The Angle is a biannual, flowering in most places in it"s second year. In the first year harvest the leaves, to dry, (air flow. not in the sun) and stems to be candied, and in the second year also the roots, to freeze or dry. Soumi/Lappish children in Finland play a form of flute made from the dried stems. Ah... there"s more to life than Z-box and so forth. prepare, cook and enjoy.... I doff my cap to the Pageist .... Bon.. Bon... A good day to you all... Culpeper... ps..... Jo Jo, watch the plant identity... there are a couple of nasties out there in the woods. Hemlock (pink spots on the stems) being one... Socrates weed to we botanists, don"t mix them up.... Plato will explain.... regards Culpeper....

How do you crystalise angelica. �I have three large specimens growing in my garden which are much loved by bees and other insects. �I would like to put at least one of the plants to good use, thank you!

Ooh this looks wonderful, both the cake and the candied angelica archangelica. Dying to try the candied angelique, is it available in any shops in paris ? I just looked it up and one of it"s common names is wild celery ... Hmm I had seen something that looked like celery in the woods. also, according to my reading, traditionally Angelica was planted at the four corners of the house to ward off pestilence and disaster. Umm perhaps you need to get 3 more ? :P

Sorry to leave this in the comments, but the last sentence says, "I won"t like and...", did you not mean, "I won"t lie and..."? Anyway, love your blog, the photos are magnificent.
