The Chef's Choice Collection
What do you get?
Bring a little chef-inspired creativity into your own kitchen with The Chef's Choice Herb Collection. Bringing together nine carefully selected edible plants, this collection combines outstanding culinary favourites with unusual flavours and ingredients designed to inspire anyone who loves to cook.
Whether you're creating fresh summer salads, experimenting with Southeast Asian flavours, roasting vegetables, making sauces and marinades or simply looking for something different to add to tonight's dinner, The Chef's Choice Herb Collection puts an exciting selection of fresh ingredients just a few steps from the kitchen door.
This collection includes:
-
- Vietnamese Coriander – One of our favourite herbs for adventurous cooks. Its aromatic leaves have a distinctive coriander-like character with a peppery edge and are widely associated with Vietnamese and Southeast Asian cooking. Fantastic added fresh towards the end of cooking.
- Cola Plant – An extraordinary aromatic plant with soft, silvery foliage that releases an unmistakably cola-like fragrance when gently rubbed. A fascinating plant for creative cooks to experiment with and an almost guaranteed conversation starter.
- Garlic Chives – Similar in appearance to familiar chives but with a deliciously garlicky flavour. Brilliant chopped into stir-fries, noodle dishes, eggs, dumplings and salads, or scattered over finished dishes as a fresh garnish.
- Spicy Thyme – A wonderfully aromatic thyme with a particularly strong, warming fragrance. A great choice for marinades, roasted vegetables, meat dishes and recipes where ordinary thyme simply isn't quite enough.
- Mushroom Plant – One of the collection's real curiosities. Its glossy green leaves have a remarkable savoury, mushroom-like flavour and can be used fresh to bring something completely unexpected to salads, sandwiches and other dishes.
- Oregano Hot N Spicy – Oregano with attitude. This wonderfully aromatic variety brings a stronger, spicier character to the familiar oregano flavour and is brilliant with pizzas, pasta sauces, roasted vegetables, marinades and Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
- Lemon Verbena – Few herbs can match the extraordinary lemon fragrance released when you crush a fresh Lemon Verbena leaf. Wonderful for desserts, syrups, drinks and infusions, and a fantastic ingredient for cooks who enjoy experimenting with fresh citrus flavours.
- Berries and Cream Mint – A wonderfully unusual mint with a sweet, fruity fragrance. Perfect for desserts, drinks, fruit dishes and garnishes, and a lovely alternative to more traditional mint varieties.
- Thai Mint – A fresh, aromatic mint particularly at home amongst the bold flavours of Southeast Asian cooking. Try the freshly picked leaves in salads, noodle dishes, curries and fresh garnishes.
For enthusiastic home cooks, adventurous foodies and anyone who believes the best ingredients are the ones you've grown yourself, The Chef's Choice Herb Collection offers something genuinely different. Familiar enough to be useful, unusual enough to inspire, it's a collection designed to get you experimenting in the kitchen and discovering just how exciting freshly picked herbs can be.

How big are the plants?
All herbs are supplied in 9cm pots. They will be freshly picked for your order. The condition of the plants is our primary concern when fulfilling your order. The foliage will differ in size throughout the season and may be clipped prior to dispatch. The herbs are not soft grown and have spent time in unheated conditions. They are a product designed not just to last a few days but to be grown on by yourselves and supply flavour for months to come.
