My Cooking Secret Reveiled. Making a Bouquet Garni

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.

I have conquered a place in my man’s heart.

Especially these days.

My cooking skills have improved. Everything tastes better. I thank Jamie, my love thanks me

I have been making a bouquet garni for most of our meals.

A bouquet garni is a little bundle of mixed fresh herbs that you add to the pot and let simmer. I have been adding it to all of our soups, stews, sauces and ragouts.

The most ordinary of Bolognese sauce becomes something out of this world when you let a little bouquet of herbs swimming in it.

Typical herbs for a bouquet garni are bay leaves, thyme and rosemary. I usually also add flat parsley, dragon, chives and sage. But anything goes. Just tie them all together with some butchers twine and drop in the pot.

A bunch of herbs, who would have thought they could make such a difference in how good our food tastes.

Fresh herbs are really the best invention ever. They do not only taste good, they smell divine too.

That’s why I also often put little herb bouquet on the table when making a table setting.

Good thing that herbs are plants that actually grow better when you cut them regularly.

And that’s what I do.
