Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium)
Garden chervil, highly prized in Europe, is a biennial plant characterized by its finely cut leaves with an aniseed flavor. Ideal with potatoes, eggs, and fish, its delicate taste requires gentle cooking, added towards the end of preparation, or consumed fresh in salads. Its flowers and roots are also used to flavor dishes. To best preserve its flavor, it is recommended to freeze chervil rather than dehydrate it.
