View source for Chervil

'''Chervil''' (''Anthriscus cerefolium'') resembles [[parsley]] in shape and texture, although has a finer leaf and has a gentle [[anise]] flavour. Growing to 30 - 50cm in height with a spread of about 20cm, it is a [[biennial]] plant preferring full - part sun in a moist and well drained soil. It doesn't transplant very well, and is best grown from seed in late spring or summer.

Used often to flavour [[soups]], [[chicken]] dishes, [[fish]], [[salad]]s, [[herb butter]], [[cottage cheese]], or as a garnish. If being used in cooking should only be added just before serving as it rapidly loses its flavour. It is also high in Vitamin A and C.

It can also be [[infuse]]d in water as a skin freshener.
