Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Thyme (Common) along with all the trcipes employing Thyme (Common) presented on this site, with 898 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Thyme (Common) recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Thyme (Common) as a major wild food ingredient.

Wild thyme (also known as creeping thyme) tends to grow in limestone uplands and looks very much like a dwarf variety of the cultivated common thyme Thymus vulgaris. Indeed, garden thyme can be substituted for any recipe that calls for wild thyme. You can also make a tea infusion by placing the flowers and stems in boiling water and infusing for ten minutes. This is said to be an effective anti-expectorant.

In my herb garden I have common thyme, silver thyme (Thymus argenteus) and lemon thyme Thymus citriodorus.
