I fancy a bit of mint in my ice tea. Many people enjoy parsley, sage rosemary and thyme (thanks Mr. Simon and Mr. Garfunkel). Variety is the spice of life, and although spices and herbs have been used since ancient times, they are playing a new and important role in modern food preparation. They not only add unique flavors to our food, but contribute color and variety as well. Certain spices and herbs used alone, or in blends, can replace or reduce salt and sugar in foods. Growing herbs at home is a great way to get your hands dirty, save some money and enjoy the delicious flavors. Their fragrance will also attract bees and butterflies into your outdoor garden. You don’t need too much space or a lot of soil, as there is plenty of time to grow herbs, indoors or out, which is ideal for a novice or young gardener. It is a great hobby which makes cooking fun, healthy and tasty. Courtney gives us great tips, tricks and recipes for preserving, growing and using herbs.
