What Herbs do I Use in Italian Cooking?
Italian cooking has developed over a very long period of time. Long before the Italians had a country, they had a national cuisine. This cuisine, known and enjoyed the world over for its delicious flavors, owes much of its distinctive character to the generous use of herbs. Fresh, seasonal herbs are practically the cornerstone of Italian cooking. They are important ingredients in many provincial, regional and national dishes. Particular herbs impart particular flavors, ranging from delicate to pungent and savory to sublime.
