I have loads, but i have no idea and what to use on what.

So a few ideas be nice.

What do you use on yours?

Cummin seeds are good in chilli's and I'd never make bolognese without mixed herbs. I like using corriander in risottos too.

Pork and chicken: a nice Herbs De Provence is always on hand for quick dinners

1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon chervil
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 tablespoon summer savory
1 teaspoon lavender
1 teaspoon tarragon
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon mint
2 powdered or chopped bay leaves

put all together in tight glass jar, shake before use and put over meats before pan searing in olive oil, or roasting. I also always salt and pepper the meat before use.

Basil (fresh basil and parsely always make a nice pesto). I use the summer harvest and make it up in ice cube trays so that we will have pesto year round.

Cumin, chili powders, red peppers, adobo, etc...will always go well in spicy dishes like curries, chilis, bean soups, tortilla soups, etc...

Do you use more dry herbs than fresh?
