It’s common to find pots of live herbs lining the windows of a bright, airy French kitchen. While they definitely enhance the rustic design of a chateau-style room, they have practical use as well. If you live in the city and don't have a little parcel of land to call your own, growing herbs in your kitchen can really elevate the flavor of your recipes. High quality ingredients - especially herbs - are the keystones to fine French cuisine. Fresh herbs bought at the market are wonderful, but imagine glancing down at a recipe, and then walking over to your countertop to snip a few sprigs of fragrant, organic seasoning. From plant to pan, what could be more delicious than that? Bon appetit!
