Best Bouquet garni for home cooking
What Bouquet garni is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
A tied bunch that flavors a pot and then leaves — thyme, bay, and parsley on a string.
In French cooking, Bouquet garni is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Tie it so you can pull it out. Bay, thyme, parsley stems. Leek greens if you have them. Never leave loose leaves to surprise a guest.
