A good cook should always have a well-stocked herb cupboard. Herbs are essential for engineering interesting flavors, seasoning, brewing teas, and adding subtle notes to everything you cook. While there are so many other aspects that make a good meal, without proper seasoning it can sometimes taste bland. Therefore, here are some household herbs that are always good to have around.
Rosemary
Rosemary goes great with roast potatoes, chicken, and gammon. It adds a particularly autumnal, wintery mood to a dish that will always leave you feeling satisfied.
Chives
Chives can transform average mashed potatoes into a top quality dish. They can really make the difference in your cooking, especially when you’re working with traditional meat dishes.
Italian Mixed Herbs
Italian mixed herbs always go great with cheese, pizzas, pastas, and fresh salads. For instance, you can make your cheese on toast restaurant quality by tossing on some mixed herbs. Or you can make a moody salad with tomato slices, fresh mozzarella, and whichever Italian herbs you’re feeling that day.
Coriander
