Thyme for Cooking
has an intense slightly spicy flavour so we should be careful in its use. It can accompany meats, poultry, fish, sauces, legumes and cheeses. It is a herb that we should use from the start of cooking, so it has time to release its aroma, and is also very suited to marinating. It can be combined, especially in baked and grilled meats, with sage and rosemary.
