Question

Carin & Dennis Baer

Are there guidelines or resources for what herbs to use with certain foods?

Answer

You know, I know there are no rules. Yes, I would say. that get yourself a copy of the vegetarian flavor Bible. There are other herb and spice books that will help you and Play around with that some of the larger some of the spice companies the purveyors have really interesting. Information burlap and being or Penzeys has good information on that. So I think getting yourself a resource of book would be a great help.
