I use garlic, basil and pepper. I love the combination of flavors that these seem to bring to any dish. I love garlic and basil seems to offset it alittle and adds a great flavor. And what dish doesn't taste better with some pepper? So what is your favorite combination of flavors?

When I cook fish ,I usually add garlic and ginger to it so that may get rid of the smell of fish.

Garlic is great! I love combinations of herbs and spices. Spices are great to help with metabolism too.

Yum celticeagle . . .that is until you got to the pepper . . Garlic and I basil . .what could be a better combo 
I love to grow herbs that I use pretty much everyday. Basil is a great one to grow. I also grow chamoille (great to take the flower and put it in a cup and breathe it in before sleep) thyme (like to cook with it), chives (to mix in cream cheese) ....and as it is the season to be outdoors I am growing away out there!

Yes, I like garlic and basil very much. The pepper is just a personal favorite of mine. I love growing herbs. Chamomille is lovely. I especially like lavender myself. Thyme is good on alot of things. Chives and parsley are really nutricious.

Hello
In my family the basi three are garlic, onion and ginger besides lot of others, we indians use so many spies in our food items for flavor as well as taste!!!!
Basil is not used normally, this plant we call tulsi and consider it holy, as a goddess..
Thank you so much.
Professor. . Cheers have a great day ahead.
God bless you. Welcome always.

I think we need to use more ginger and garlic. Basil is good and I enjoy using it. Another one is bay leaves. Very nice to add taste to dishes. It isn't spicy though.

CE-
I couok with a few on a regular basis. I cook with oregano, basil, ginger, curry powder, garlic, sage, and praprika all of the time. I put them in almost everything I cook. (Save the sweets of course!) I love the way they bring out the flavor of anything they are mixed with. I tend to marinate my meats, so those make a wonderful flavor and pull out the natural flavor of the meats I cook. I also add them to my veggies with a bit of olive oil. I tend to steam my veggies, so I just mix up the oil and herbs seperately and then drizzle the mixture in. Yummy!

I love to use basil, which I keep in pot, and add to salads. Outside we have an abundance of wild mint and sage so I use plenty of those too. Mint is good in water, potatoes and salads, and sage goes well in pork dishes or chicken stuffing. I would say apart from basil though my favourite has to be chilli as I love to add some spice to my food.

Oh yes, basil is a great one isn't it? We have all kinds of mint as well and I forget about it it has become such a natural thing around here. Sage is great in alot of things. Stuffings and in cooking chicken as well as stuffing. Good.Thanks.
