Hot Tips

Dried vs. fresh herbs

When substituting dried herbs for fresh herbs use approximately a third of the suggested quantity, as the dried herbs will tend to be more pungent. However, the older the dried herbs the less flavour they will have, so taste as you go.

Glossary

Parsnips

A white-cream-coloured root vegetable with an agreeable peppery taste. A winter vegetable.
