What herbs do you like?

[*crikey*mate*]

For aesthetics and garnish, I love chervil. It's just so delicate.

To eat, i like cooked Rosemary. I've never understood people using raw Rosemary, it's like chewing on a waxy tree, and the flavours are so much more intense if you cook it before you use it.

I can't stand Coriander on it's own, It smells bad. Reminds me of a cat with bladder problems.

And the only parsley I like is the broad flat leaves of Italian Parsley. They look really good left whole in ravioli dough.

I like Bay leaves to enhance a casserole or Bolognese. Is that classed as a herb?

I like de 'erb.

I love fresh sage.   Cut some spuds into wedges, toss with some liberally applied EVOO, heaps of whole sage leaves, couple of rosemary stalks, good salt, pepper, roast in hot oven.   Sage leaves go all crispy and awesome.

Great with meat too (pig particularly).

Crusty Italian bread, thick sliced, rub with garlic and paint liberally with EVOO, grill both sides in slotted pan until grill marks show.

Assemble with aioli/fresh dill, some ripe fresh tomato, soft ripened cheese or Danish feta, avocado, torn fresh basil, drizzle some more EVOO, Maldon sea salt, pepper

More awesomeness.    Herbs in bold to confirm relevance to thread topic

I use a lot of basil....because I love Italian food, especially bruschetta.

I also put a small pot of basei (or mint) on the table if I am eating outdoors on the deck..

It keeps the flies away from the food.

i like fresh tomato too L*T, & added to spaghet bog.  will make it a rule to use basil with tomato {dried basil and other dried herbs thrown in first up while browning the onion and meat 🙂 }

Yes, Joz....fresh tomatoes.

I am a vegetarian and make delicious vege pastas.  A mushroom, onion, chili, basil, garlic pasta sauce to die for.

Only fresh basil.....I have a herb garden....I raid it for most meals.

I find the big flat mushrooms tastier than those round button ones.   The flavour and colour spreads through the sauce..

Would you believe that I cannot stand those cookery shows on tv.   Food is actually way down on my list.

I am not into stove work.
