Bay Leaves

Also known as sweet laurel.

Indispensable in the kitchen and seems to go with almost everything. A most versatile and flavoursome herb and a vital ingredient in a bouquet garni. A single bay leaf can easily act as substitute for a whole bunch of herbs.
Tastes good in soups, savoury meat and poultry dishes, pasta sauces, fish dishes , curries and even some sweet dishes.
