June 28, 2009


Herbes de ProvenceHerbes de Provence (Provençal herbs) is a mixture of dried herbs, which includes basil, fennel, lavender, savory and thyme. Many add also: bay, tarragon, marjoram, mint, oregano, rosemary and sage.
Don't let this list scare you: chose a selection of herbs from your garden, dry them and create your own mixture. Harvested herbs dried at home are better than store bought herbs!
