The Fresh Herb Index - Issue 2

Two more additions to help with IDs...Summer savory is closely related to thyme, and falls into the french herb category. Combined with a touch of mint, it's been taking my egg salad to new heights lately...

There is no replacement for fresh cilantro. Cilantro is important to ethnic food around the world, from Mexican to Thai cuisine. Anyone know the connection here...? It begs a bit of research. Use cilantro fresh, adding it to dishes at the last minute as the flavor disappears rapidly with cooking.


As always, let me know about any recipes or sparks of inspiration you'd like to share!

  1. YUM and YUMMMMM! JOhn's picking up the share this evening. Koala wants to know when we can get bulk picklers, bulk cilantro and parsley.
