Fresh herbs have more zest and flavor than dried herbs. For this
reason, you are fortunate if your local market carries a selection,
or if you can grow your own in a garden or window box. Following is a
list of the most common ones and how they are used:

dishes. Also good in soups and fish cocktails with crab and shrimp.
Inspiring with veal, lamb, duck, and game; in vegetables like
eggplant, zucchini, and onions, and in green salads and sauces.

BAY LEAF - Good in stews and pot roasts, fish salads, gravies and
sauces. As it has a distinct flavor, use sparingly.
