Basil is most commonly used fresh, and in cooked recipes, is generally added
at the last moment, as cooking destroys the flavour quickly. The fresh herb can
be kept for a short time in plastic bags in the refrigerator, or for a longer
period in the freezer, after being blanched quickly in boiling water. Place
fresh leaves in a dry jar with a pinch of salt, and cover with olive oil. The
dried herb also loses most of its flavour, and what little flavour remains
tastes very different, with a weak coumarin flavour, like hay.

The dill is derived from a Norse word which means to
soothe, the plant having the carminative property of allaying pain. The
common
dill, Anethum graveolens, is an annual growing wild in the cornfields of Spain
and Portugal and the south of Europe generally. There is also a species of dill
cultivated in Eastern countries known by the name of shubit. It was this species
of garden plant of which the Pharisees were in the habit of paying tithes. The
Talmud requires that the seeds, leaves, and stem of dill shall pay tithes. Jesus
rebuked them for tithing dill but omitting mercy.

perennial herb or undershrub with sweet pine and citrus flavors. It is also
called Sweet Marjoram or Knotted Marjoram and Majorana hortensis. The name

the word major. Marjoram is cultivated for its aromatic leaves, either green or
dry, for culinary purposes; the tops are cut as the plants begin to flower and
are dried slowly in the shade. It is often used in herb combinations such as
