Una menta de la pradera que sabe a caramelos de anís. Las abejas la adoran, los chefs recién se están dando cuenta.

Miel

classic

Bees make it directly. Estragole and floral sugar are the same idea twice.

Crema

common

Steeped in hot cream, strained cold. Fat is the only carrier for estragole here.

Fresa

common

Furanone sweetness plus liquorice; the herb keeps the berry from going flat.

Durazno

common

Lactones and estragole share a warm floral register. Poach, then infuse.

A quiet fruit given the aromatic backbone it has never had on its own.

Hinojo

uncommon

Estragole here, anethole in the bulb: isomers, one floral and cold, one crunchy and green.

Hard green acidity needs a sweet floral herb rather than more sugar.

Elote

rare

Sweetcorn is sugar with no aroma; anise hyssop lends it the perfume it lacks.

Trucha

rare

Cured with the flowers, Nordic-style. Anise does for trout what dill does, sweeter.

Pato

rare

Rendered fat plus liquorice, the same logic as duck with fennel, minus the crunch.

Actually in the recipe. Serving the plant next to it is a tasting-note cheat sheet.
