Beautiful Bouquet

The bouquet garni is a bundle of importance for chefs. It's a cheese clothed and string wrapped flavor basket that is submerged in stocks, soups, sauces, and even reductions. The beauty of this simple tool is to add flavor to what ever dish you are making. Once the dish is finished the bouquet is removed and thrown away. Traditionally, the bouquets have parsley leaves, thyme leaves, and a bay leaf. It may include any other herbs like basil or rosemary depending on what flavors you want in your dish.
