Rosemary

Rosemary has a strong woody flavor, and no wonder: In some climates it grows as a shrub. The oily needles can be used fresh or dried. It's often paired with grilled or roasted poultry, meat and vegetables.

Rosemary can make a surprise appearance in desserts too. It works well with fruit, such as apples and citrus. It also can be paired with honey.
