There are no strict rules governing the use of herbs in food. The best rules are those you devise yourself through experimenting. However, there are some guidelines that can help you become more confident and that is what the following chart is all about! Just a few general tips ... Don't overpower the main dish with herbs. Be subtle. The herbs should enhance, not dominate, the main flavor. Dried herbs are stronger than fresh cut herbs. In general 1 teaspoon dried herbs equals 3 teaspoons fresh herbs. Scissors are the best tool for cutting fresh herbs onto your dish. When cooking, add the fresh herbs during the last five minutes. If you are unfamiliar with the flavor of an herb, try adding it to a small amount of butter, margarine, or cottage cheese. Let the mixture sit for about an hour to absorb the flavors, then try it on a plain cracker. Store your herbs in glass jars or pottery. Keep them away from light and heat. With careful storage, the flavor should last about one year.

Always look for organically grown herbs, and examine them as critically as you would any produce: Be wary of spotty, limp, insect-ravaged, or dry herbs. Herbs that are used as leaves are generally best when harvested just before flowering. Flowers, like chive flowers or  HYPERLINK "http://www.epicurious.com/run/fooddictionary/browse?entry_id=7119" borage, should be fully open for best flavor. Always handle fresh herbs gently so as not to bruise them. The best time to pick herbs is on a clear day, as soon as the sew evaporates but before the suns heat dries us the essential oils. Mid-morning from 9:00-11:00am is ideal. STORING FRESH It's all about essential oils: The sooner an herb is used after it's picked, the more flavor and aroma that make it into the dish. Still, many fresh herbs will keep for several days if washed, patted dry, wrapped in a damp paper towel, then closed in a plastic bag with a few holes punched in it and placed in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator. Herb bunches may also be kept cut-flower-style in a glass or vase of water, well out of direct sunlight. DRYING Drying fresh herbs yourself produces much more intensely flavored stuff than can be bought commercially. To do it, first forget any fond dream of festooning your kitchen with decorative bunches of drying herbs: You need an evenly warm, dry spot out of direct light, which pretty much rules out that room. Very warm temperatures will rob the herb of essential oils, so choose someplace that gets no hotter than about 85F. Lay the herbs out on a clean screen or on newspaper or tie them up in bunches and hang them by the stem end. Protect from dust with a tent of newspaper or a paper bag tied at the ends with a few holes punched in it. This method preserves a greener color. Depending on the fleshiness of the foliage, the herbs should dry in about one to three weeks. When the herbs seem dry but not brittle, gently remove the leaves from the stems and store in a tightly sealed, lightproof glass or ceramic jar in a cool dark place. If you see moisture in the jar the next day, remove the leaves to dry some more. Some advocate drying herbs in the microwave, spread out over a paper towel and cooked on high for about a minute on each side. This works, but follow the manufacturer's suggestions. For maximum flavor, crush dried herbs just before using. HERB SALTS Salting dries the herb while preserving its color and produces a savory, subtly flavored salt. Alternate layers of about 1/2 inch noniodized salt and 1/2 inch fresh herbs in a lightproof glass or ceramic container that can be sealed. Ready in two to three weeks. FREEZING In general, freezing is fine for herbs that you plan to cook, but will render them far too limp to be used as a garnish. To freeze, wash the herb and pat dry with a paper towel, then divide in recipe-size quantities in freezer bags. Or chop the herbs and make ice cubes that are half herb, half water. Once frozen, store cubes in sealed plastic bags or containers to protect flavor. Use frozen herbs before defrosting, in about the same proportions as you would use fresh. Freezing herb combinations is a convenient way for use later. Freeze combos for bouquet garni, stew combos etc. HERB VINEGARS To make basic herb vinegar, bruise whole sprigs of fresh herbs slightly with the flat of a knife or with a pestle to release the essential oils and put them in a glass jar. Add wine vinegar heated just to the boiling point, filling the jar to within two inches of the top, and seal with a non-reactive (plastic lined) cap. Let the mixture infuse in a warm place, shaking the jar everyday or so. After ten days, taste the vinegar and replace herbs for further infusion if stronger flavor is desired. Once the desired taste is reached, strain vinegar through a funnel lined with a coffee filter, add new herbs for decoration, and reseal. Store in the fridge unless hot-packing and sealing.
