Chervil is a must in French cuisine. It is not cooked, but always sprinkled fresh over soups. The herb goes well with soups, sauces, fish and meat dishes and potato dishes.
Hildegard von Bingen: Chervil is more warm than cold. It is useful for medicinal purposes and heals the broken wounds of the intestines. So crush chervil, and put the juice into wine, and give it to him that hath broken wounds to drink. Do this often and he will be healed.
