Meanings
-
(countable) A leafy herb, Anthriscus cerefolium, resembling parsley.
The life of one plant would be affected by another. Rue was definitely hostile to basil, rosemary to hyssop, but coriander, dill and chervil lived on the friendliest of terms[.]
1940, Rosetta E. Clarkson, Green Enchantments: The Magic Spell of Gardens, The Macmillan Company, page 253:
-
(uncountable) Leaves from the plant, used as an herb in cooking, which have a mild flavor of anise.
Cook fresh chervil leaves very little, if at all. They are best when added to a dish after it has been cooked, or toward the end of the cooking time.
2017, Alice Arndt, Seasoning Savvy: How to Cook with Herbs, Spices, and Other Flavorings, CRC Press, →ISBN:No herb, except perhaps tarragon, is quite so French as chervil, an association that is not surprising for a nation known for its celebration of fine food and the subtle use of herbs.
