Converting Herbs: Fresh vs Dried

It isn’t always possible to find the fresh herb in a recipe, or the dried herb when you need it. The rule of thumb – for most herbs is:

1 tsp of the dried herb = 1 Tbs of the fresh

If you are cooking something for several hours, avoid washing out the flavors; wait until the dish is almost ready before adding either fresh or dried herbs. For foods you are chilling (i.e. pasta salads or dips), do the opposite, since adding herbs several hours in advance gives the flavors a chance to meld.
