November Cooking with Herbs Blog Challenge: Just COOK with Herbs!

November Cooking with Herbs Blog Challenge:

Just COOK with Herbs!

Welcome to a NEW Cooking with Herbs challenge! Last month saw more amazing entries from all of you, and you can check out the round-up here: October Cooking with Herbs Round-Up.  November is here already, and it arrived with much colder weather and shrouded in mists, well for me anyway……and the last of my annual herbs have nearly all gone now – killed off by the frosts that we have had these last few days. But, my hardy herbs such as sage, rosemary and thyme are still doing well, and believe it or not, I still have some Greek basil OUTDOORS and thriving! Although it is always better to use fresh herbs, I think, dried herbs and herbal oils and vinegar provide us with aromatic flavouring throughout the winter months as well.  And, if you have dried your own herbs at home, even better, as I find my own home-dried herbs always have a better aroma and colour than commercial dried herbs. With the idea of dried herbs being used more now, I have a lovely little gift to offer this months winner, a set of Herb Labels for all your jars and pots of herbs!

Cooking with Herbs Prize

On to the challenge, which is as always, just to COOK or BAKE with herbs! And, I will be interested to see how many of you use dried herbs this month too! Have a wonderfully herbal month and I cannot wait to see what you all come up with!
