COOKING WITH HERBS
Recipes to make by using herbs from your garden.

Herbs are plants which have been used by man for their culinary, aromatic and medicinal properties. Documents as far back as 2000 years ago describe the herbal gardens near Cairo.

Herbs are just as popular today as they were centuries ago and the importance of flavour and seasoning is increasing with methods of modern food production in which long-stored, mass-produced food has lost most of its natural flavours and nutritional values. Many of the herbs contain essential mineral salts, trace elements and vitamins that we need for our bodies.
