Rosemary is one of my favourite herbs and the inspiration for this recipe roundup! She’s a hardy perennial that grows well in a variety of climates and is one of the most versatile herbs I know. Cooking, medicine, cleaning, beauty – she has your back for all of it! Rosemary has a role in two super popular and important herbal recipes as well: Thieves Oil and Queen of Hungary’s Water. As an extra bonus, Rosemary has rich folklore surrounding her and is thought to have protective and cleansing qualities. I’m always sure to have at least one Rosemary plant growing in my garden.
This roundup will showcase the wide variety of uses for your Rosemary bounty! Hopefully you find something new to try out. Citrus & Rosemary seems like a really popular combination for cooking; for essential oils I love rosemary with woodsy scents. It’s not possible to link to all the awesome ideas out there here so be sure to check out our Pinterest board for even more.
