One of the easiest ways to infuse flavour in recipes is with the addition of fresh herbs. Planting and growing your own herbs is such a great way to have the ones you use regularly, ready to cut fresh when working and preparing in the kitchen. Even if you’re not much of a gardener, a pot of herbs out on your deck, couldn’t be easier and makes it accessible for most anyone. Plant to Plate – Roasted Potatoes with Fresh Herbs.
If you are a gardener, growing your own food and then seasoning it with fresh herbs from your garden, is just so satisfying. It elevates even simple foods to another level. Roasted potatoes with fresh rosemary, could come straight from your garden…or a trip to the farm market...and produces such a delicious flavourful dish.
