Which herbs do you use in your daily life?

  • Basil – Great in pasta, salads, and tomato-based dishes.
  • Parsley – Adds freshness to almost any savory dish.
  • Cilantro (Coriander leaves) – Common in Mexican, Indian, and Thai cuisine.
 
Lots of wonderful culinary ingredients are herbs. You listed 3 amazing ones. More I can think of:

  • Mint -- both in tea and dishes
  • Rosemary -- especially with meats and breads
  • Thyme -- great in meats and soups
  • Oregano -- for many Mediterranean recipes
  • Dill -- many dishes, but I think of its affinity with fish
  • Sage -- meat and stuffing
  • Chives -- on potatoes and in soups or with eggs
  • Tarragon -- for many French cuisine dishes
  • Bay leaves -- so many soups and stews and curries
  • Lemongrass -- hard to imagine Thai cuisine without it
  • Lavender -- I don't use this much but it obviously has a nice scent
  • Chili peppers -- lots of known benefits
  • Ginger -- in baking and soups and stews and curries
  • Turmeric -- well, curries as an obvious starting point, but it works well with many protein dishes
  • Garlic -- almost every cuisine uses this
  • Onion -- considered a rasayana in some contexts
