A Bouquet Garni is a bundle of herbs used to flavor soups, stews, and sauces in cooking. Traditionally, it consists of fresh herbs like thyme, bay leaves, and parsley, tied together with string or placed in a small pouch. This allows the herbs to infuse their flavors into the dish while being easy to remove before serving. The use of a Bouquet Garni dates back to French cuisine, where it enhances the taste of various dishes without leaving behind any bits of herbs. Chefs appreciate it for its ability to add depth to flavors while keeping the presentation clean and elegant.
