Common
name: Bay
Leaf
Botanical name:
Laurus nobilis
Family: Lauraceae |
I was raised under the Mediterranean sun and am a standard in American cooking. I can be found in soups, stews, meat and vegetable dishes. The French love for me to flavor their classic dishes such as bouillabaisse and bouillon. My leaves have a heady aroma and a sharp, bitter taste. In ancient times my leaves were a symbol of health, good fortune and honor. Today most people think of me as useful in more hearty dishes such a bean soups, meat stews, sauces and chilis. Be sure to remove my grand, flavorful leaves before serving your dish. Buon appetito! Bay Leaf.
