Secrets of Chervil

If you are looking for an herb that will help you add French flair to your cooking, then Chervil is probably one of your very best options. It is a fine, almost lacy herb, which is a member of the parsley family. When it comes to flavor, it becomes clear just how this herb differs from parsley. Unlike the more run of the mill parsley, it is sweet and aromatic, and it actually has a little bit of an anise flavor. It is used as a seasoning, or to bring out the flavor of other herbs, in classic mixtures such as the French fines herbs blend. This means that you can use the delicately flavored herb on its own, or with other herbs, and it is useful in a wide variety of dishes. Try it added to scrambled eggs, or on omelets, or use it in mushroom or cream dishe s to add flavor.
