Rosemary: The Herb of Remembrance

In this solo episode I explore Rosemary, one of my all-time favorite kitchen herbs. Rosemary has been used throughout history in cooking and has had many other cultural uses. I especially love the distinct flavor it adds to food. So if you ever wanted to learn about this herb, then this episode is for you!

Some topics discussed:

• Rosemary history, folklore and cultural uses
• How to prepare it in the kitchen and ideas for simple uses
• What is better dried or fresh rosemary?
