Discover the enchanting world of aromatic herbs, as illustrated in Le Vocabulaire Illustre. Savor the pungent scent of rosemary (Romarin), a perennial evergreen herb, often used in roasts and stews. Delight in the citrusy freshness of citronelle (Citronnelle), also known as southern wood or stabwurz, perfect for adding flavor to dishes and creating soothing aromas. Thym (Thym) or thyme, a fragrant herb native to the Mediterranean, adds depth to savory dishes and is a beloved ingredient in herbs de Provence. Origan (Origanum), or origanum, also known as dosten, adds a piquant, oregano-like flavor to dishes. Store these herbs in a spice-box (Boite aux épices), a traditional European container, to keep their aromas fresh. For a spicy kick, try raifort (Raifort), or horse-radish, as depicted in The Allotment Love Letter. Add watercresses (Cresson), or brunnenkresse, with their peppery taste and crisp texture, to salads and sandwiches. Lastly, the tangy, bitter, and pungent taste of carvi (Carvi) or caraway, as shown in Le Vocabulaire Illustre, adds depth to baked goods and pickles. Among these herbs, tansy leaf, not explicitly mentioned, adds its unique, pungent, and slightly bitter taste to various dishes, particularly in traditional European cuisine. Embrace the rich tapestry of flavors that aromatic herbs bring to your culinary creations.
