Summer Means Fresh Herbs
You can grow basil, chervil, chives, coriander, tarragon, mint, parsley, sage and thyme in pots on the windowsill or balcony or out in the garden and enjoy fresh herbs all summer long. They turn a stir-fry, salad or omelettes into a four-star dish. Refreshing, exotic and aromatic, some enhance the distinctive taste of various vegetables, others bring out the full flavour of meats and still other add a subtle touch to desserts.
