Today I went to Mitre 10 Mega to buy my herbs for my cooking garden.  I chose to buy…

-Mint

Mint can be added to salads, cooked new potatoes, drinks and peas. 

-Red spring onion

Spring onions are yummy in salads, fritters and omelettes

-Coriander

Coriander is nice with Mexican food

-Parsley

I like to add parsley to egg dishes.  It is also used to decorate food

-Chives

Chives are nice in egg dishes, in chicken stuffing and cobb loaf

-Basil

I like using Basil to make little snacks with a chunk of feta cheese with a cherry tomato and one basil leaf. it is held together with a tooth pick

-Fennel

Fennel goes nice with salads chicken and fish

-Rosemary

my mum cooks roast lamb with rosemary sprigs, yummy!
