common cooking herbs:

rosemary

rosemary Rosemary is an evergreen herb that has a very strong aroma reminiscent of pine trees (with its short, stiff needle-like leaves, it also somewhat resembles a pine tree in appearance). It’s a commonly used herb in Italian cooking, where it's used to flavor lamb, pork, chicken, rabbit and bean dishes, as well as breads. Rosemary also goes well with roasted new potatoes and butter. Make sure to chop rosemary very finely, or use whole sprigs that can be removed before serving -- the leaves can be rather tough.

classic uses: rosemary-rubbed roast meats
