Description
Chervil, Anthriscus cerefolium, is a small low-growing annual of the carrot family. It derives its name from the Latin chaerophyllum which means "festive herb" or "herb of joy." Its lacy, fern like foliage is dried and ground for seasoning. Even though it is a member of the Parsley family, it is much more aromatic.

Uses
Used in poultry, seafood, vegetables, vinegar, and soups. Chervil is used in French and European cuisine and the spice blends of bouquet garni and fines herbes.

Origins
Chervil is native to eastern Europe and western Asia. It was introduced to France and England by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago.
