If you've ever grown dill in your garden, you know how quickly it can take over and how easily it reseeds itself. But that's ok because dill is also a very versatile herb. Thanks to the popularity of dill pickles almost everyone is familiar with the flavour profile of dill but, there's much more you can do with it besides make pickles (but check out the tutorial below on how to make small batch dill pickles if you've always wanted to try making your own!).

You can use almost the entire dill plant - the feathery leaves are perfect for using in soups, dips, salads, dressings, breads, savoury muffins and biscuits or as seasoning for fish and white meats. But you can also use the seed pods in pickling and different types of breads and savoury cakes.
