One of the many gaps in my education is about herbs and spices. So, 101 things that go well with herbs and spices, please. Keep it simple - not after recipies, just stuff like:

1) Basil goes well with tomatoes
2) Sage and onion is good
3) Marjoram and oregano for a better pizza

4) Coriander and garlic are good in/on breads
5) Chives complement cheese
6) Nasturtiums are handy to add to a salad (leaves, flowers and seed pods)
7) Rosemary and mint both go well with lamb dishes and/or Greek dishes

5) Rosemary and Garlic.
6) Sage and pumpkin/squash.
7) Sage and chorizo.

31. Parsley can help nutralise the smell of garlic. So they sort of go together.
32. Marojaram - boiled spuds
33. Lavender flowers - shortbread.
34. Leek and sage. (as you would expect, goes with onions will go with leeks.)
35. Chervil - can use like fennel or parsley. So goes with fish and can be interesting in soups.
36. Spinach - sorrel
37. Sage - on cheese on toast

In a non-cooking Manner:

Lavender and lemongrass creates a beautifully relaxing citrussy smell, justdon't overdo it on the lemongrass.
Sage is great for burning when its dried, and smells great too.

Mmmmm lavender flowers in shortbread sounds yummy. Dried or fresh and what quantity please?

Cardamom in hot chocolate.

Lavender in salad
I also once tasted lavender jelly - divine!! I anyone knows how to make it please tell

36.Tarragon in egg mayonaise
37.Dill with trout
