So popular is parsley in Britain (even to the extent of fabricating a plastic imitation for decorating butchers' slabs) and so apparently vital for almost every dish that it is surprising that the similar chervil is not more commonly grown. In France it is considered invaluable as a delicate flavouring herb, especially for winter use because it is easy to obtain fresh, and as every cook knows (French or otherwise) no dried culinary herb can be compared to its living state. Almost every recipe for a mixture of fines herbes includes cerfeuil.
Chervil is one of several slender annual "cow parsleys" (umbellifers). A single plant is a poor thing visually but a scattering of seeds over a couple of square feet gives a bright green ferny heap of leaves topped by flat heads of tiny white flowers. Frequent sowings in good soil will provide leaves for picking at almost any season: sown in August or September seedlings will overwinter for the earliest outdoor supply. This can be preceded by kitchen-window pots.
One clump outside, in a not too obvious spot, should be allowed to ripen seed for next year.
