Savory is a herb so peppery in its flavour that since the time of the Saxons, it has come to denote not only the herb itself, but also a whole segment of cooking. Savory is an herb that has a pungent, almost celery-like flavour and aroma. Delicious as a flavouring for cooking Italian cannellini beans. Essential in Canadian dishes such as Tourtiere and Creton. Great in sausage and a good flavouring for cabbage rolls. Savory can also be used in marinades for grilled meats, in Provencal Daube, and in soups such as squash or bean and kale.
