Do you like using herbs in your cooking?

I just learned that the root of the coriander has a wonderful flavor and is used in Thai cooking. I grow my own so I am going to plant a lot so I can use the roots.

hi shree, i have never used coriander. i use alot of spices in my cooking. oregano is one of my faves.

I like to use herbs and am actually growing some Basil this year for the first time, I use Coriander a lot too but have never used fresh, I should try and grow some of that too. I also use mixed herbs in a lot of things which is a bit of a cheat really but works, and also parsley that's essential.

I have a recipe somewhere for Oriental Spaghetti that uses about 1/4 cup of coriander--which is just dried cilantro but tastes so yummy! It's on a cd somewhere, if I find it I'll send it to you.

Yes, herbs such as basil and rosemary really can mean the difference between a bland and run of the mill dish and a really good flavored one. Fresh coriander was one of my x husbands favorite herb. I chives and parsley too. I used to have a lovely herb garden just outside my back door. It just happened to be right off the kitchen as well. Have all kinds of basil. Loved it. And lavender.

I love herbs and I stuff all my roasting all sort of meat and fish with my favorite herbs. I like lemon grass to stuff inside the belly of chicken and the whole pork roast. The best things is to cook it slowly and you can see the juicy meat dripping with flavor juice. And, the smell is very tempting it can make you hungry upon smelling it. I even cook meat in banana leaves or in aluminum foil in a charcoal oven. The fish belly is also stuff with lemon grass and salt. It gives an aromatic flavor and marinated the meat at the same time. Other herbs I used is the Chinese herbs and a mix of Indian herbs. Such as curry powder, yellow ginger or turmeric, sichuan peppercorn, anise seeds, garlic chives, the sibot or tungkoy, and fermented mustard or in our local dialect is called-burong mustasa. I mix it as my other ingredients in cooking to serve as my appetizer. Especially, the fermented mustard is cook with a mixture of crunchy meat with scrambled eggs. I also used pandan leaves in cooking steam rice, it gives a sweet smell to coked rice. I love all the herbs not just the flavors it bring to the food but also the healthful benefits one can get in eating food spice with herbs.

I love using fresh herbs when I cook! Some of them I grow myself in my garden, like basil, chives, parsley, mints (2 types: peppermint and spearmint) and I also grow my own garlic. I even dry some for winter use with my cooking. I have never tried corriandor in anything. I don't know much about it, like what types of foods it's good in, or even what it tastes like lol. Will have to get some and try it, it sounds like it's good for a lot of cooking flavor! (Thanks!)

I also like to use fresh herbs in just about everything that i make, and i usually put fresh mint in either my tea, or my coffee. I have a small herb garden in my kitchen that has a number of different herbs, all i have to do is cut off what i want to use.

I often use herbs. Sage is great in nutroast. Basil in things like bolognese, because I like it with cooked tomatoes. Mixed herbs in omelettes, and I love egg and chive sandwiches. Parsley sauce is one of my favourite tastes, but I haven't had any parsley growing for ages - I must do something about that!

I love using herbs in my cooking. In fact I cant cook without using herbs.. herbs bring the taste of the meal. Especially when I'm makin a chicken roast gravy with potatoes and continental salads then I heap the herbs in..
