The HUGE Cooking with Herbs (Herbs on Saturday) Round-Up:
Herb Recipes Galore
Welcome to another HUGE Cooking with Herbs (Herbs on Saturday) round-up! You have all been very busy in your herb gardens and I had a staggering 46 entries, an absolute treasure trove all things herbal. There were fishy entries, baked entries, dips and pasta entries, and all of them brimming with fresh seasonal ingredients, as well as herbs of course. As I have a lot to share with you all, I will stop rambling on for now and let’s get straight into our own virtual Herb Garden! Thanks to each and everyone of you who entered, the winner of the culinary lavender will be announced in the new July challenge next month. Karen

Going through this round-up has been absolute torture – it’s my fast day and I really should keep away from food blogs – especially yours. So many lovely things to eat Karen. I’ve definitely got my eye on that rose honey.
