Herb day
Read all about culinary herbs
By Culinate staff
June 25, 2008
Yesterday was Herb Day. Not officially, of course — officially it was National Pralines Day — but two of our regular reads covered herbs: Food Day (the Oregonian’s weekly food section) and Gourmet.com.
Both publications showed photos of favorite herbs and provided ideas for using them, but unfortunately the Oregonian’s chart doesn’t transfer well to the Web. (Check it out only if you’re a glutton for online punishment.)
Gourmet.com’s herb slideshow, meanwhile, is very pretty but a little scant on how-to-use info (although it includes some nice recipe links).
As for herby content on Culinate, we’ve got pieces on chives, cilantro, parsley, and a Matthew Amster-Burton column on keeping herbs fresh.
