I love spring as it really does excite my taste buds and it makes me thinking of new fresh dishes to create.  However it is also a tricky time as this is a time of growth and to be honest not a lot of variety is around so digging deep and making the most of the soft herbs which are flourishing can make a simple meal into truly explosive tasting experience.

Herbs which are flourishing at the moment and should be used in abundance are

Coriander

Mint

Parsley

Tarragon

Chervil

Marjoram

Bronze Fennel

Chives

Lovage
