Auberge Blend - Herbes De Provence image

There are numerous recipes for this famous herb mixture from the South of France. As a rule, it always contains thyme, lavender, rosemary, basil, savory, marjoram and basil, but it DOES vary from area to area depending on local tastes. This is my own "Auberge" blend that I make & use regularly in our Chambres d'Hôtes; I find it appeals to most people's taste! Feel free to add or omit those herbs that you are not keen on or find difficult to obtain. This makes a wonderful gift - add a ribbon, a sprig of lavender & a recipe! (I sell this blend at the Auberge, in little fabric bags with a recipe sheet inside!)
