Lovage is a striking perennial herb with tall, hollow stems and large, celery-like, dark green leaves. The plant grows in a graceful, upright form and produces clusters of small yellow-green flowers in summer. Its flavour is a delightful mix of celery and parsley with a hint of anise, making it a wonderful addition to soups, stews, stocks, and salads. Originally native to the Mediterranean region, lovage has been prized in European kitchens and gardens for centuries for its robust taste and aromatic leaves. Every part of the plant, leaves, stems, and even seeds, is edible and packed with flavour.
