An indoor herb garden makes it easy to garnish a hearty winter stew with a sprig of fresh rosemary, or decorate a special soup with a fresh basil leaf, even if the weather outside is below zero on a snowy afternoon in January.
But since fresh herbs tend to lose their flavor when cooked for long periods of time, dried herbs are best for seasoning those soups and stews that bubble on the back burner all day in a warm, cozy kitchen.
Different herbs dry best at different times of the year, of course. But, if you have an outdoor herb garden, it’s not too late to harvest some of your summer herbs and dry them for use during the cold winter months ahead.
