There is nothing like using fresh herbs when you cook.
I mean, dried herbs are a necessity in the house -but they don't nearly represent as well as fresh.
And fresh from the supermarket is definitely better; but nothing, and I mean nothing comes close to the fabulous taste of herbs freshly picked from your own garden, or herb planter.
Tonight, I'm making a very simple chop suey; but to add the fresh basil and golden oregano truly just makes it come to life.
And it really tastes like summer... !

I couldn't agree more! Funny you should post this as I just came across my laminated Chef's Guide to Herbs & Spices that I thought was lost forever. Literally just put it down. I love it! From drying, tips & tricks, storing, definitions, uses, preparation, marinades, blends, growing and making butters, oils and vinegars with them. Oh I need to cook now!
Ohhhh What's golden oregano??
mmmmmm sounds yummy! I actually very rarely use fresh herbs because I always decide to cook at the last minute and then just have to use whatever I can find in the kitchen. Maybe this evening I will plan ahead!

Wendy: SO much fun! I made a delicious basil butter for corn on the cob. And I love to infuse oils and vinegars too!
Jenn: Golden oregano isn't bitter like regular oregano; it's a pretty yellow color and its delicious!
