I know that not everyone here cooks, but I bet everyone eats laugh


Growing up, I thought all seasonings came from a can or bottle.

My mother was a good cook, but all the herbs she used were dried...oregano, basil and parsley.


When I started to cook for myself, I found a whole new world of fresh herbs.


Last year, I tried fresh cilantro and now I'm addicted. I grow it in my garden, along with basil, mint, sage and oregano.



What's your favorite herb??

arabella: What's your favorite herb??


I have to say it is Oregano, but never ever on its own and just a bit to add a tone. It is a perfect blender into your own spice mix.

I like to mix dried herbs it in a little warmish water and a touch of salt to revive the taste.

Most of my herbs I dry myself, as I do too with garlic (ah… garlic)

Another favourite in my spice collection is burned curry, verri verri hott! I have yet to find that around here, bought a big bag last I was east.

cheers

I love all herbs but my favourite, for both fragrance and taste, has to be rosemary.
