Miel

classic

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

Crème

common

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

Fraise

common

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

Pêche

common

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

Myrtille

common

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

Fenouil

uncommon

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

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

Truite

rare

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

Canard

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.
