Herb Recipes
Herb recipes - divided into categories by herb and method - oils, butters, breads, ideas for using herbs as a condiment. Basic Herb Recipes is the section where you'll find recipes that you can use for lots of different herbs - the only limit here is your imagination. Other recipes are categorised by the specific herb. Scientists destroy whole rain forests writing about the evils of salt and fats - by using herbs as a condiment, you can cut down on salt and fats to add flavour to your food. Many fresh herbs contain valuable vitamins as well, so we're doing ourselves no end of good - personally, I subscribe to the 80/20 rule - if I eat healthily for 80% of the time, I give myself carte blanche to eat and drink what I like for the rest of the time:-) You will find that I use dried herbs as well as fresh - not in all recipes though, you can't make pesto with dried basil for instance - but I do not subscribe to the snob element that think you should only use fresh. Companies spend millions on researching the best methods of drying herbs - our ancestors used drying as a method of preservation for all sorts of things - we haven't all got the time to grow or the money to buy fresh plants - dried is better than nothing. You can preserve herbs or their flavour in many ways - freeze, dry (traditionally or in the microwave) add to oils or butters - The Herb Guide will tell you how to do all those things.
