I was watching the Great British Food Revival yesterday and the lovely Mary Berry was enthusing about home grown herbs. I have to agree with her, this summer I planted some basil seeds and grew them on my kitchen window sill. They are still going now, albeit a little skinny and unenthusiastic but even the smallest of leaves still have the most incredible flavour and smell. Sprinkled over salads and pasta, they bring the essence of summer back on the bleakest of November days.
