One of the great pleasures we have at Marron & Dolce is using our own produce from the garden in our products. We grow a range of fresh herbs which we use in a variety of products including our herb rolls (a real farmers market favorite).
We can't get enough of herbs and in our kitchen garden have the following: rosemary, french tarragon, chives, marjoram, thyme, vietnamese mint, bay, basil, lemongrass, lemon verbena, dill, lavender, oregano, sage, parsley (flat and curly), coriander and lemon balm - but the list keeps growing each year as we plant more varieties. We will keep expanding our range of home-made products that utilise our herbs (we're currently experimenting with home-made herb pasta) because we believe they not only taste better, but often have medicinal and nutritional benefits.
There is nothing quite like the flavor of fresh herbs, particularly if they've only just been picked from the garden. The The Culinary Herb Guide provides a great overview of herbs used in cooking and how to grow them. But if you're keen to get on board with herbs, Jekka McVicar's blog is a fantastic wealth of information and inspiration.
