Bouquet Garni

Bouquet garni is a fragrant symbol of French cuisine, a simple yet elegant way to add rich flavor to dishes. Its origins date back centuries when chefs sought to preserve the purity of broths by adding herbs in a tied form. A mixture of bay leaf, parsley, and thyme imparts a subtle spiciness to dishes without leaving sediment. This bouquet is used in soups, sauces, and stews, filling them with warmth and depth of flavor. Traditionally, herbs are tied with string or placed in a cheesecloth bag and added to boiling broth before being removed before serving. Bouquet garni harmonizes flavors, enriching any culinary creations with notes of nature and freshness.
