Native to the Mediterranean region, where warmer temperatures prevail, Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) was introduced to Britain by the Romans. Boughs of Rosemary have has many uses in the past. They were carried at weddings, used to freshen rooms, and burned as incense. They are also used as pungent flavoring in cooking. The leaves, fresh or dried, can be used with chicken, meats (especially lamb), stews, breads, pizzas and vegetables. Dried leaves can also be added to the coals of barbecues near the end of cooking to impart Rosemary's characteristic flavor to meats. In addition to its varied culinary uses, Rosemary also has a history as a health-giving herb. In 1525, Banckes' Herbal, the first book devoted exclusively to herbs and their uses, was printed in England and included Rosemary. Early Arabian physicians are credited as the first to recommend this fragrant herb as a tea. Today, it is still enjoyed, often before retiring for the evening.
