Did you know that coriander is the world’s most popular herb? It is widely used in cooking all over South-east Asia, China, Japan, India, the Middle East etc. The leaves should be strewn over a dish just before serving or stirred in towards the end of cooking so their fresh, distinctive flavour is not lost. Although coriander is sometimes called Chinese parsley, English parsley is a very poor substitute for it. And many supermarkets as well as oriental stores do stock coriander nowadays. Look for deep-green and not tired or wilting leaves.
