That's right it is all about the Herb Garden this week at I Heart Cooking Clubs.
Definition please?
- An herb is defined as "a plant that is valued for flavor, scent, or other qualities."
- Culinary use of the term "herb" typically distinguishes between herbs, which are from the leafy green parts of a plant, and spices, which come from other parts of the plant, including seeds, berries, bark, root and fruit.
- Culinary herbs are distinguished from vegetables in that, like spices, they are used in small amounts and provide flavor rather than substance to food.
Whether you are a lover of basil or chives, a fanatic for cilantro or mint, crazy for oregano or marjoram, or maybe like Simon & Garfunkel, it is parsley, sage rosemary and thyme that inspires you, trust us, there is a Bittman recipe for you. Find a recipe that features fresh herbs from one of his books or online, or if you can't find them fresh in your area, use dried herbs instead.
Make and post your Bittman Herb Garden recipe by Sunday, June 6th. Don't forget to link your post of the week's permalink with Mr. Linky, below, so we can all enjoy your fabulous herbalicious creation! Remember to leave a comment after, each week that you use Mr. Linky to link your post, just to be sure we don't miss anyone.
