Notes
Herbs de Provence comes from southern France, and every home there seems to have its own version when preparing French cuisines. The main herbs stay the same, but people add different extras depending on the meal. Feel free to mix and match the optional herbs—Julia Child famously added lavender, which is now a popular twist.
The heavier herbs will want to separate from the rest of the mixture when stored so shake before every use.
Do not store in humid areas or your herb mixture won’t last as long and will clump together.
You can swap this homemade blend in for store-brought Herbs de Provence using the same amount your recipe calls for.
Using quality herbs for this recipe will make it that much better. Using fresh herbs will make such a difference.
