Basil is a popular sweet herb of the Mint Family. It is commonly used fresh in cooked recipes. In general, it is added at the last moment. The fresh herb can be kept for a short time in plastic bags in the refrigerator, or for a longer period in the freezer, after being blanched quickly in boiling water. Basil is one of the main ingredients in pesto—a green Italian oil-and-herb sauce.

Marjoram is a somewhat cold-sensitive perennial herb in the Mint Family with sweet pine and citrus flavors. Marjoram is often used in herb combinations such as herbes de Provence, and it is often used in sauces and meat dishes. Marinades, salad dressings, and soups can all benefit from this herb. Bouquet garnis, or bundles of fresh herbs, often include marjoram.

Oregano is related to the herb marjoram, oregano also being known as wild marjoram. Culinary oregano is a signature flavor of many Italian, Mexican and Spanish dishes. While many people think of pizza when they think of oregano, this wonderful herb can add a warm, balsamic and aromatic flavor to many different dishes, especially those of the Mediterranean cuisine.
