How it works

  1. Pick what you're cooking: lamb, a tomato salad, mushrooms, rhubarb…
  2. Say how, if you know: a slow braise wants different herbs from a salad.
  3. Tick the herbs you already have and they move up the list.

Robust herbs like rosemary, thyme and bay stand up to long cooking; soft herbs like basil, parsley and chervil are best raw or added at the very end. The Herb Finder tells you which is which for every suggestion.
