Fines herbes

Fines herbes are a culinary staple in French cuisine. The ingredients of fines herbes are all fresh: fresh parsley, chives, tarragon and chervil[1]. These "fine herbs" are not the pungent and resinous herbs that appear in a bouquet garni, which, unlike fines herbes release their flavour in long cooking. Marjoram may be added to fines herbes. The marjoram and tarragon may be dried, chervil barely possibly. Dried parsley "flakes" and dried chives are not considered authentic.
