If you\u2019re lucky enough to have an herb garden you can enjoy that great taste as often as you like, but what do you do if you don\u2019t have space for a garden outdoors?<br>Luckily many herbs are easy to grow in small areas such as kitchen window sills. They need warmth, sunlight and water. And if your kitchen doesn\u2019t have enough natural sunlight during the day, you can also place them in rooms with better natural sunlight. Remember that it takes about three times as much fresh herb to get the flavor of a dried seasoning, but the taste is much better.<br>Look for herbs which will remain relatively small. Those which are too wide or too tall may not fit in the area you\u2019ve chosen to grow them. You\u2019ll also want to consider the type of cooking you do most often and choose herbs which will match that type of cooking. Below are five herbs to grow in your kitchen window or another in your home.<br>\u2022 <strong>Chives<\/strong>. This herb, which tastes like a combination of garlic and onions, can be added to homemade salad dressing, sour cream, soups or burgers. You may want to substitute chives for onions in some recipes to give your food a little different taste. These can be started from seed quite easily. Your recipe will also have a unique taste depending upon whether you use fresh or dried herbs.<br>\u2022 <strong>Basil<\/strong>. Basil is used in many ethnic foods such as those from Italy, Mexico or Thailand. If you\u2019re preparing a dish with tomatoes, basil is a natural herb to choose. There are several varieties to choose from and you can either start them from seed or purchase seedlings.<br>\u2022 <strong>Cilantro or Coriander<\/strong>. This is another herb which can be grown easily from seeds. Depending upon whether you\u2019re using the leaves or allowing the herb to go to seed, you can use cilantro in Mexican or Indian cuisine.<br>\u2022 <strong>Mint<\/strong>. Mint is a universal herb which is used in a myriad of cuisines. If you live in the South you know it can be added to iced tea. You can also use it as an ingredient in salads, jellies and desserts. It can be started as seeds or seedlings.<br>\u2022 <strong>Thyme<\/strong>. Thyme is often used when cooking meats and other savory dishes. It is best to start these out as seedlings so you can begin using the herb as quickly as possible.<br>Seeds and seedlings for the above herbs can be found at many discount stores as well as farmer\u2019s co-ops. If you choose to grow your herbs from seeds, follow the instructions on the packet to plant them. Before you know it, you\u2019ll have fresh herbs to harvest and enjoy in your home cooked meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&#8230;]\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":192222,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","wpupg_custom_link":[],"wpupg_custom_link_behaviour":[],"wpupg_custom_link_nofollow":[],"wpupg_custom_image":[],"wpupg_custom_image_id":[],"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_daim_seo_power":"1000","_daim_enable_ail":"1","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[128000],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-192221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/menuculture.com\/recipeshop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pexels-photo-4113900.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":229842,"url":"https:\/\/menuculture.com\/recipeshop\/2025\/01\/15\/herbs-de-provence-roast-chicken\/","url_meta":{"origin":192221,"position":0},"title":"Herbs de Provence roast chicken","author":"admin","date":"January 15, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Herbs de Provence roast chicken Herbs de Provence roast chicken is a delicious dish where a whole chicken is seasoned with a blend of aromatic herbs typically used in French cooking.
