Herbs & food

I thought someone might find this list of what herbs to use with what foods, useful to have. This is a suggested list for herbs you can choose to use. There are plenty of sites and good books which give more indepth information on each suggested herb. But at a glance this list may be helpful to some.
 
As always be cautious about use of herbs.
