  • Marjoram

    Marjoram

    Marjoram is a member of the same genus as Oregano and has a similar flavour but is milder. Like oregano it is easy to grow. It is an ingredient in ‘Italian Herbs’ and ‘Herbes de Provence’, both popular spice mixes. I use it primarily in pasta sauces and sprinkled over pizzas. If you are starting…
