A.
Basil is one of the most common herbs used in the kitchen. It often appears in French and
Italian cooking as the key ingredient of pistou or pesto respectively, which is used as dressing
in different types of dishes. We can taste it in noodles, soups and salads. Basil sprinkled on
tomatoes and slices of mozzarella cheese adds a fresh green colour. In Italian, this combination
is called Insalata Caprese.

B.
Mint is universal and can be used as an ingredient of both salty and sweet dishes. We can
find tasty mint leaves in fruit salads and ice creams. In Southern Europe, it is frequently
added to meat such as lamb. There are many types of mint, but the most popular one used
in the kitchen is spearmint. It can be used in many dishes and drinks, for example to prepare
North-African green tea with mint, which is both hot and refreshing. Spearmint leaves are
pointed and differ in shape from rounded peppermint leaves.


C.
Oregano can be found in the mountains of Italy and Greece; its name means ‘brightness
of the mountain‘. Italian cooks sprinkle it on pizza, whereas in Greek cuisine it is usually
added to salads based on goat cheese. Oregano can easily be confused with another popular
herb – marjoram. They look and taste very alike. Marjoram is sweeter, while oregano
is more aromatic.
