Culinary Seasoning Guide For Popular Herbs |
|
Here is a list of herbs in my garden which I use for cooking.
This is a guide to what foods they go best with. These herbs are great
flavor enhancers, especially if you are trying to cut down on salt.
Please don't let this guide stop you from using your imagination and
satisfying your curiosity. I invite you to send comments to me by e-mail
if you have additional helpful advice on the use of these herbs.
Fresh herbs are always best and should be used whenever possible.
The stuff in spice jars that you get in the store is often tasteless
when compared to the real (fresh) thing. |
