{"id":1548,"slug":"homemade-herbes-de-provence","title":"Homemade Herbes de Provence","description":"Herbes de Provence or Provençal herbs is a mixture of the herbs traditionally used in the cooking of Provence, France. The mixture was created in the 1970s to simplify the use of these herbs; traditional cooks did not have such a mixture, instead using the individual herbs in amounts suitable to their own tastes. Although a few commercial mixtures do not have it, many cooks consider that Herbes de Provence without lavender is not really Herbes de Provence.","ingredients_raw":["1 tbsp basil","1 tbsp marjoram","½ tbsp rosemary","1 tbsp summer savory","1 tbsp thyme","1 bay leaf, crushed","2–3 lavender flowers, crushed","1 tsp fennel seeds (optional)","1 tsp sage (optional)"],"ingredients_norm":["basil","marjoram","rosemary","summer savory","thyme","bay leaf","lavender flower","fennel seed","sage"],"steps":["Combine all ingredients, and mix until blended."],"categories":["Recipes for spice mixes","Recipes using fennel seed","Recipes using basil","Recipes using marjoram","Recipes using rosemary","Recipes using savory","Recipes using thyme","Recipes using bay leaf","Recipes using sage"],"prep_time_minutes":null,"cook_time_minutes":null,"total_time_minutes":null,"servings":null,"yield_text":null,"difficulty":null,"source_name":"wikibooks","source_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Homemade_Herbes_de_Provence","source_ref":"4535175","authors_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Homemade_Herbes_de_Provence&action=history","license":"CC BY-SA 4.0","license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","extraction_confidence":null,"content_hash":"72ec5c536c3c09045f9301ff3002b79c3d22d3d66addea1546e5c530a2684421","created_at":"2026-08-02T14:43:04Z","updated_at":"2026-08-02T14:43:04Z","notice":null,"url":"https://recipecontextprotocol.com/recipes/homemade-herbes-de-provence"}
