I love a good summer drink, and this is no exception. Mint is extremely easy to grow (and even a little invasive, so keep it in a pot), and you can even buy a specific variety of “mojito” mint for this cocktail. It’s not necessary, though; regular ol’ mint will be just as delicious...

I do like a Dover Sole and when I saw a bunch on sale from my frozen supplier, I got some in and decided to try it this way. It's nice and herby with the classic combo of parsley and oregano in the Chimichurri augmented with some fish-friendly dill. Ingredients Fish 2 whole Dover Sole...

(Mod edit: new thread to discuss bread with all sorts of things added. Originally from Barriehie 's recipe for herbed bread . KKA) Pretty cool! Did you come up with this recipe on your own or borrow a bit from here and there (I do that often)?

I grow a load of basil in the garden. When pine nuts became prohibitively expensive, I discovered this version with almonds and it works a treat. Ingredients: 100 gms basil leaves 50 gms slivered almonds 5 medium cloves garlic 2½ tbsps parmesan cheese 150 - 160 mls extra virgin olive oil 1½...

I put some herbs in the ground about 3-4 weeks ago and I think they're taking pretty well. But I've noticed that my basil is wilting a bit, that can be a sign of needing water, but also a sign from over watering (root rot). Every morning I check on them and the soil appears dry (at least the...

I have a terrible green thumb and can't grow anything here in Cowboyville Arizona to save my sole, well, very little I should say. I recently purchased clam-shell plastic containers of a few fresh herbs to use in different recipes. I couldn't seem to use up everything, so I went searching for...

I never really expected them to last as long as they did, (Holy crap my basil plants quadrupled in size). I assumed it's too cold for them to grow, yet I googled all the herbs, (oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme) and it said that they are "cold weather herbs". I'm confused. Do you have to...

I went to Trader Joe's today and picked up a few things that caught my eye. I haven't tried any but the vanilla bean paste, which is wonderful. I found the vanilla last year, and it makes a big difference in my cheesecake.

I came across a recipe for za'atar eggplant fries online and have based this recipe on that. I thought I had za'atar but couldn't find it, so substituted with other spice mixes, sliced and herb mixes. I'm using modern aubergines which have had the bitterness bred out of them, so they're is...

I came across this recipe whilst looking for an aubergine soup and it hit the spot. I ended up modifying the recipe adding more spices but the end result was exceptionally nice. I've added some urfa piper flakes at the end. I also thought that a can of chickpeas would work very well with this...

Question I’ve long wanted to ask…take a look at these fresh basil leaves, plucked from my own back garden: The one on the left, the dark spots were on it while still on the plant, so it’s not the usual oxidation from cutting a leaf, and I purposely picked it for this question…would you use...

Apart from salt and pepper, what would you say is your most-used spice/dried herb? By “most-used,” I’m referencing the number of times you reach for it, not the amount you use. I would have answered that with either garlic powder or chili powder, but I’ve been paying attention the last few...

The other day, I went into the kitchen to make some cinnamon toast, and like you do, I started reorganizing my herb/spice pantry shelf (and rack). Now, conventional wisdom says ground spices and dried herbs, replace every year, and whole ones every three years (at least that’s what I’ve always...
