All these herbs you can grow in the garden or on a suitable windowsill.<br /> The ingredients for our basic Bouquet Garni are the herbs Parsley, Thyme, Bay and a clove of Garlic. Tie them together with undyed string. Then add other herbs that are specific to the dish you want to cook.</p> <h2><strong>Herbs to Use</strong></h2> <p>Use the herbs that are fresh and in season. If you have dried your own use sparingly to test the strength of flavour.<br /> Herbs with high oil content can withstand longer cooking in stews and casseroles and include Rosemary, Oregano, Sage and Bay.<br /> Loveage and parsley also retain flavour during lengthy cooking and combinations of stronger flavours are good for cooking meat dishes.<br /> Poultry blends well with lemon flavour so lemon thyme, lemon grass leaves (harder to grow) and lemon balm will add the flavour you seek. You can also add a mixture of summer savoury, tarragon or hyssop.<br /> Fish combines best with soft leaved herbs. Fennel, tarragon, dill and sweet marjoram are suitable as can be mint or welsh onion.</p> <h2><strong>Jekka McVicar</strong></h2> <p>Jekka McVicar runs her own organic herb farm in Bristol and is the author of many books about herbs including ‘Jekka’s Complete Herb Book: In Association with the Royal Horticultural Society’ <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1856267806/richardpettin-21">shown above.</a><br /> Her tips for growing herbs include</p> <ul> <li>‘The best site for a culinary herb bed is a sunny area accessible to the kitchen</li> <li>The sunnier the growing position, the better the flavour – the sun brings the oils to the surface of the leaf of many herbs.</li> <li>Your herb garden could be made in well drained garden or in <a title="containers" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/containers/">containers</a>.</li> <li>Position a paving stone near each herb so that it can be easily reached for cutting, weeding and feeding</li> <li>Contain the would-be rampant herbs, such as the mints, which might otherwise take over.’</li> </ul> <p>Jekka grows more than 600 species of culinary, <a title="medicinal" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/medicinal/">medicinal</a> and aromatic herbs at her <a href="http://www.jekkasherbfarm.com/">farm</a>.<br /> She has been awarded 12 Gold Medals at the Chelsea <a title="Flower Show" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/flower-show/">Flower Show</a> for her herb displays</p> <h2><strong>Herbs to Grow in the UK</strong></h2> <p><span id="more-5663"></span><br /> Ginger mint<br /> French parsley<br /> Chives<br /> Rosemary<br /> Garden thyme<br /> Angelica<br /> Fennel<br /> Winter savoury<br /> Greek basil<br /> Bay<br /> Sweet cicely<br /> Garlic<br /> Greek oregano<br /> French tarragon<br /> Lovage<br /> Lemon balm<br /> Moroccan mint<br /> Dill<br /> Lemon thyme<br /> Parsley<br /> Sweet marjoram<br /> Chervil<br /> Coriander</p> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_24596" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a24596" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a24596" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX24596X5X0XaXarticle_rater_24596Xarticle_loader_24596X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24596X4X0XaXarticle_rater_24596Xarticle_loader_24596X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24596X3X0XaXarticle_rater_24596Xarticle_loader_24596X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24596X2X0XaXarticle_rater_24596Xarticle_loader_24596X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX24596X1X0XaXarticle_rater_24596Xarticle_loader_24596X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_24596" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a24596">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
