Herbs add vibrant flavor dimensions to our cooking, but their benefits reach far beyond the culinary realm. Many herbs hold historical medicinal uses, possess subtle yet delightful fragrances, and add a touch of visual beauty to dishes. Let's explore some of the most common herbs and their unique characteristics.
If your recipe doesn’t specify what kind of herbs to use, use combinations of herbs that you like or have available. Be creative and don’t be intimidated. You will be surprised how all sorts of herbs nicely work together.
