Some herbs particularly inspire us to cook and embrace sustainable eating by growing just what we need to use per dish, reducing wasted herbs.
In our experience, herbs can transform an ‘ordinary’ meal into an ‘outstanding’ meal. Herbs can often be the finishing touch on a dish, adding a certain element of flair and intrigue.
Often known as the ‘King of Herbs’, Basil is so versatile. One particularly interesting recipe to use Basil in is Spinach-Basil Lasagne. This herb’s unique flavour suits a variety of dishes. There’s nothing quite like the taste and aroma of freshly cut Basil.
When having guests over, it’s an opportunity to make your dishes look extra special. Let your meal be a feast for the eyes. Leaf Mustard’s beautiful yellow flowers can be used to garnish any dish of your choice.
