A seasonal explainer, The Trick Gardeners Guide to Keeping Fresh Herbs From Wilting in the Fridge, details practical handling techniques for fresh herbs that reduce waste and flavor retention. The guide includes techniques such as drying, refrigeration strategies, and freezing herbs in oil for longer use. It also includes advice on morning harvesting when essential oils are at their highest, gentle debris removal, and bouquet-style storage in cool water for basil, mint, rosemary, and thyme. The book also includes humidity control with damp paper towels and ventilated containers, upright water storage for parsley, cilantro, and dill, dry-bag keeping for thyme and oregano, and compound butter, infused oils or vinegars, simple syrups, and ice-cube portions.
