Herbal Notes
Bay leaf, from the common laurel bush, was made into garlands for victors in ancient times.  Often linked with thyme parsley in recipes, it adds an aromatic, pungent flavour to savoury dishes such as soups, stews, sauces, meats, and fish.  Bay should not dominate the other tastes; it should be used with discretion since overuse results in bitterness.  One leaf, fresh or dry, will adequately flavour six cups of liquid.
