coriander
Known also as chinese parsley and cilantro. Used extensively in Asian cookery, particularly Thai cooking. Coriander is usually either relished or despised. The ornate, feathery foliage has a unique pungent scent. Coriander compliments chicken, fish, curries, stir-fry vegetables, pickled fruit, mango and Asian salads.

The slightly sweet, citrus-like notes of its seeds complement a variety of seasonal favorites, including chicken, lamb, pork, fresh peas, shrimp, fish, fruits, and more.

Its leaves, on the other hand, have a fresh grassy, lemony flavor and aroma and provide a delicious accent to new potatoes, ham, salmon, eggs, pasta, sauces, and green beans.
