BASIL

My favourite herb of all time is basil. Basil has a mouthwatering aroma and is a versatile herb to use with many different types of food. Basil goes well with tomatoes, and tomato based dishes, eggplants, zucchini, marrow, squash and spinach. Basil goes well with cream cheese and in pasta dishes. Basil makes a savoury vinegar when leaves are steeped in a white vinegar for a few weeks.
