I have a recipe from a French cookbook that calls for fines herbes. What is this?
Answer
A common combination of herbs in French cooking, fines herbes is a mixture of equal amounts of finely chopped fresh parsley, tarragon, chives, and chervil. Farmers almost always had these herbs growing in their kitchen gardens, and they added them to omelettes, soups, and sauces.
