I am aware that Jamie Oliver (and probably others) use the whole plant and just chuck them in a processor to chop them up. I am obviously not on the same hourly rate as JO but...

    Freezing herbs

    I've never attempted this before and I'm starting with coriander leaf and flat leaf parsley. Just a few springs of each went into the freezer this morning. I left the coriander "whole" with roots but chopped up the parsley. Has anyone else tried it with any success?

    Parsley , cilantro and celery

    I am a bit confused. I think these three herbs : parsley, cilantro and celery are all the same in taste. Is it necessary to use them all or can we opt to use just any of them in one dish?
