Italian Aromatic Herbs
As all chefs will tell you, herbs are the hallmark of flavorful cooking.  Every culture around the world adapts these savory ingredients to help define the distinctive flavors of its cuisine.  And in Italy, where fennel, rosemary and sage grow wild, herbs are used to an especially delicious effect.  After all, who can imagine pizza without oregano or bruschetta without basil?  Cornerstones of Italian cooking since ancient times, aromatic herbs can bring powerhouse pungency and sophisticated, nuanced flair to even your everyday culinary creations. more >>
