About

A combination of 3 herbs: bay leaf, thyme and parsley. French laurier is not as strong as our bay leaves. Some spice houses import laurier leaves. Buy them when you can. The French also have dried thyme on the branch, which is superior to dried thyme leaves. To my knowledge no one imports it.

To make a bouquet garni. Take a bay leaf, lay it on about 3 or 4 sprigs of parsley (in France one would also add a small branch of thyme), and wrap the stems and leaves of the parsley around the bay leaf and tie the bundle together with a string. Since we cannot buy thyme on the branch, add about ⅛ teaspoon thyme to the pot.
