HERBS

ARUGULA: This is a member of the mustard family. It has a distinct smoky yet spicy (peppery) flavor.

BASIL: This is probably the most versatile herb. It comes in a variety of flavors, including lemon, Thai, cinnamon, and opal basil.

OPAL BASIL: This basil has a strong, aromatic scent. Its purple leaves give it decorative values.

BAY LEAVES: In addition to flavoring, it is also used for ornamental reasons. The leaves are not edible, but have a strong distinctive flavor. If using fresh leaves, it is better shredded before use for maximum flavor.

CHERVIL: It is similar in appearance to parsley, but smaller. The flavor has a mild hint of parsley with anise and pepper. Add near the end of cooking to flavor stews, fish and steamed vegetables.
