Thyme is one of those herbs that elevates any occasion. Great in soups, stews, and roasts, or tossed whole into a pan for roasting vegetables and meats, it brings out new flavours in some late summer and autumn dishes.
It is also a lovely aromatic herb to boil with water and use as a fragrant DIY spray to make your home smell lovely. Despite such greatness, it doesn't necessarily merit a trip to the shops if you’re not heading out anyway.
