A Bouquet garni or Herb Bouquet is a combination of

• parsley
• thyme
• bay leaf

which are tied in a bunch and used in flavouring sauces, stews, soups, casseroles and other dishes. Sometimes other ingredients are added such as:

• peppercorns
• celery or celery seed
• fennel seed
• coriander seed
• cloves
• garlic

In the latter case, or if dried herbs are used, the aromatics are tied up in a piece of cheesecloth with a length of string that can be tied to the handle of the cooking vessel. Later the string can be used to retrieve and discard the bag.^[1]
