A bouquet garni is a little bundle of herbs and/or spices that add flavor to your sauce or soup. Making a bouquet garni is a matter of common sense. You don’t make a kilo for a small sauce, and you don’t make a bundle the size of your thumb for a 5-liter pot of stock. There are no fixed rules; experiment with herbs and spices. Think in terms of flavor…

How to make a bouquet garni

  • A bouquet garni should contain at least parsley, thyme and bay leaf.
  • Tie everything together using butcher’s twine.

You can also buy handy linen bags, or small perforated metal balls into which you can put your chosen herbs and/or spices. This way, you can remove the bouquet garni from your dish in one go.
