Whether it is the fresh or dried version, herbs can lend that instant zing to soups, pasta, stews, sautéed vegetables, curries, fried rice, salads and even dips and sauces. When used correctly, herbs will jazz up a dish and take it from dull and boring to breathtakingly delicious in just one sprinkle. Without herbs, the world – and our dishes – would be a lot blander. Do you use herbs when cooking? If not, you should definitely get around to doing that.
Here's a quiz to test your visual knowledge of various culinary herbs such as thyme, sage, rosemary, mint, dill, cilantro, basil, and various others. Can you identify each of these commonly used herbs in the kitchen by sight?

Holy guacamole, you’re a real master chef! You love the taste of well-seasoned food, and you never overlook the use of herbs and spices in your cooking. Can we come by your place for a home-cooked meal?

It would have helped a lot if there was a way to smell them too. Or even get a clue as to what dishes they feature in.
I only know one

You have a solid foundation on some of the most commonly used herbs in the kitchen. You’ve probably already cooked with a fair amount of herbs and spices, but there’s a few more you need to try until you can be considered a legit chef. Keep going until you have tried them all!
When I cook, I don`t use many herbs, & when I do, I don`t use fresh herbs, only the herbs in a bottle.
