Notes
Kitchen Tip:
If using fresh herbs, there is a general ratio of fresh to dry. Dried herbs are generally stronger and more concentrated than fresh therefore, you will need less. Typically, three times the amount of fresh herbs to dry. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fresh basil, you only need 1 teaspoon of dried, since 3 teaspoons equal 1 tablespoon.
