We are in love with herb heavy recipes, enjoying their flavour and health benefits - fresh or dried - we try to add them to our kitchen creations whenever we can.
In this article we collect recipes that appear in our website, with a focus on using fresh herbs.

Aromatic Recipes with Herb-Infused Charm
From the vibrant chimichurri of Argentina to Jamaica's fiery jerk seasoning.
France's timeless Herbes de Provence, reminiscent of summer warmth and aromatic breezes to Italy's verdant salsa verde.
Morocco's aromatic chermoula to Lebanon's herb filled tabbouleh salad.
And the classic Greek tzatziki from Greece, or its cousin cacik from Turkey.
Embark on a culinary voyage to India with its vibrant green chutneys and onwards to Thailand for its zesty and spicy dishes.
Cocktails and Mocktails
Sometime it is nice to relax with a drink in hand. Whether you choose an alcoholic beverage or not, these herb heavy drinks get the job done.
We really hope that you enjoy our exploration of the world of herbs for health. Some people's taste buds are aligned with Western or Mediterranean flavours, others with Asian flavours and kampung cuisine. Taste is paramount when it comes to sustainable eating practices, for weight loss or health in general. We are always open to a conversation on food, nutrition and whole person healthy living. So please feel free to comment or ask below.
Stay Herby, Stay Healthy,
