Fresh vs. Dried Herbs
❌ Don't
- ✕ Add dried herbs at the very end of cooking.
- ✕ Use dried delicate herbs (e.g., cilantro, mint) when fresh is key.
- ✕ Use fresh herbs at the start of long-cooking dishes.
- ✕ Equate 1 tsp dried to 1 tsp fresh.
- ✕ Store fresh herbs loosely in the fridge.
✅ Do
- ✓ Add dried herbs early to allow flavors to bloom.
- ✓ Use dried for robust herbs (e.g., rosemary, thyme, oregano).
- ✓ Add fresh herbs at the end for brightness and garnish.
- ✓ Use 1 tsp dried for every 1 tbsp (3 tsp) fresh.
- ✓ Store fresh herbs like a bouquet: stems in water, covered loosely.
