Apart from loving your videos, I love that kindness that come through every single time you make a video. You seem a very nice person.:)

[smdmofo]

it just makes me happy that over half these are in my garden

[ntombikayisetshunungwa]

doing a short course on culinary training very grateful for your help

[CorneliusSneedley]

Thanks for this. We see so many chefs use herbs, but rarely do we see something that tells us why this herb and not that one. I would like to see you expand on this with a video on dried herbs and spices. Of course fresh is often best, but lets face it, we all use dried at least at times. 

[Growyourheirlooms]

Good info. Many of them can be grown in a home kitchen windowsill year 'round.

This is an awesome video! The more understanding people have of herbs, the better their everyday cooking is! I recently started using fresh herbs daily and it has made my meals go from being everyday cooking to exquisite meals! Sometimes simple can make such a difference! Thank you for this video that makes herbs more approachable for a home cook. Chives in scrambled eggs and tons of thyme in French onion soup are my favorite!

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme gravy screams Christmas to me.

I'm always looking a video like this.
Its a great video which i think is underated in cooking at home.

For me herbs as well as spices are the key to being able to cook well. Anyone can grow (a few) of them no matter where they live, and you they add SO much to your cooking.

Thanks a lot God bless you and your family too, take care of yourself and your family too,

I also feel the same way.. I feel like a star chef whenever I use basil in cooking. :)

[AliceChengakaTheGreatCyanide]

What many people don't know about is a type of basil known as African Blue Basil. It looks closer to Thai basil than common basil, but it smells BRILLIANT. It has the rich flavour of normal basil, but it also has a hint of mint to it that adds to the richness of the dish. If you grow the plant, you can eat it after it flowers (unlike common basil). In fact, you can eat its flowers too! It tastes similar, but milder.

Thank you, I really need this education. Except for mint, chive and bay leaves, all of them smells pretty much same to me. In my cooking, I will add dried all together since more is better wrong! 😁 newbie in western cooking... actually, a newbie in any cooking

[LoveoftheDarkFiberArts]

I just found you a couple days ago, and you have quickly become my favorite Cooking Channel! :)

[terustalcup]

Ty for the videos. Nicely done short and great info. You the man Alex!

[karlayork]

Love your videos, Alex! I use a lot of herbs, mostly from my own garden, and I either grow or have grown all these you list here. I also like using fruit with pork or chicken, less frequently with fish or beef. I have used apricots, but I used sweeter spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, cardamom, cloves, etc. But your info at 5:27 inspired my very delicious lunch: Rosemary Apricot Pork Chops. I browned the chops in bacon drippings; topped them with slices of apricot; added crushed garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme; poured coconut milk around and between the chops; and braised them in the oven. Back on the stovetop, I removed the chops and reduced the sauce by half. Turned out great. Thanks for the inspiration!

[RainbowGardens]

That is a great summary for herbs Alex! Yes! French Tarragon = the BEST tarragon. :) 
Also, some culinary herbs are used for medicinal purposes such as fennel, mint, oregano, lemongrass, ginger root, and more.
