Top 5 Seasonngs

It wasn't long ago that we couldn't tell the difference between oregano and marjoram. I would blindly follow a recipe when it came to seasoning food. Then one day i had a love affair with thyme and my life has never been the same. We are hardly experts at seasoning food, but if you really get to know a few good herbs and the songs they sing dishes will come alive for you. Here is a list of our top 5 Seasonings

1. Tarragon (God bless Julia Childs for introducing us to this sweet lover)
2. Oregano (i greatly prefer greek, as it has more of a bite)
3. Saffron (its expensive, but extremely potent so a little goes a long way)
4.Thyme (Never cook steak with out it)
5 Coriander ( I like to get the full seed and crush it in my morter and pestle for a fresher taste)
