  • “I should have rated this ages ago.(Just cleaning out my cookbook) Anyway, this is a kitchen standard for us.It’s fantastic to put on a steak just after you take it off the grill.While the steak is resting, the herb butter melts on it and makes a glaze for the steak.The resulting flavor and presentation is fantastic!Thanks for a keeper!”

  • “This was very great! It was really good on fresh homebaked bread! Thanks!!”

  • “This butter went quite nicely on our veggies , not as much taste as we expected but it was good. Mine went kind of a green/grey colour, maybe because I used too much herbs.will try it again, thanks for sharing.”

  • “This is very good! I served this with homemade focaccia for a dinner party – there were oohs and ahhs at the table! I used 1 TB fresh parsley and 2 TB fresh basil to get a pretty green color. I also added 1/4 tsp of salt as my butter is unsalted. Thanks!”

  • “I love this. Keep some in my freezer all the time. WOnderful in burgers, on baked potatoes, chicken, on veggies… anything where normal butter would go. “

  • “Added 1/4 cup parmesan cheeze. Nice variation. Next time will try other herbs.”
