People tell me, "Cumin, you mean like in Indian food?" While I do use it in curry a bit, cumin is a lot of what makes Mexican and Southwestern dishes taste right to our tongues. Chili, taco meat and whole lot of others don't taste right without cumin.

While I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite– experimenting with different herbs is always fun– summer IS almost here and fresh tomato sandwiches with a generous amount of fresh PURPLE basil and freshly ground pepper is like pure sunshine in the mouth! The basil lessens the need for alot of mayo or salt and, as a bonus, is quite beautiful.

Hi Carol –
I agree that chervil can be hard to find in some areas. The good news is it’s pretty easy to grow in a window box or herb garden. Seeds and small starter plants are available at most garden centers or online.

I can’t BELIEVE no one has even mentioned CHERVIL!!! WHERE can you find chervil in the real, everyday world? No where! I LOVE chervil and have training in classic french cooking, but I don’t think it belongs on your list!

This message is for Julie Rogers who loves cumin. I had the good fortune to visit Morocco recently and LOVED the food. Cumin is so popular a table spice there that they place a holder for it on the dining table at all times– like salt, pepper and cumin. Marlene

I love all types of basil. It is especially good with warm goat cheese, sliced roma tomatoes and black pepper on ciabatta bread drizzled with olive oil. Yum!

Parsley is good with almost anything. Cilantro and green onion are good for soup and stew. And Basil..definitely for pasta. Love them.
