My herb garden grows wild and the more I pick the more it produces. This week at LaDomestique.com, we celebrate the essence of summer- fresh herbs. Heat loving herbs like basil, rosemary, lavender, thyme, oregano, sage and mint are still thriving in late summer. It would be a pity to let the season pass you by without taking a moment to appreciate the role herbs play in everyday cooking. Herbs are potent and aromatic. They come in many different textures, from the soft, delicate leaves of basil to woody stems of prickly rosemary to fuzzy sage. Their scent can be delicate and floral, pungent and musky, medicinal, fresh, or even savory. Some tender herbs are best enjoyed without exposure to heat, while robust varieties soften and mellow with cooking.<\/p>\n<p>This week at La Domestique we&#8217;ll explore the herbs of summer. Tomorrow is 10 Ways Tuesday, and I&#8217;ll have creative ideas for cooking with herbs as well as preserving their essence. I&#8217;m excited to cook in the moment with you, combining herbs with the bounty of fresh produce in markets right now. Look to LaDomestique.com on Thursday for the story behind herb varieties and learn how to pair herbs with other ingredients. Let&#8217;s savor the last weeks of summer with fresh, bright, flavorful herbs!<\/p>\n<h5>What&#8217;s your favorite fresh summer herb?
