Love me some Dill
I love dill, it has such a fresh and intense flavour. Not only does is taste great with capers and smoked salmon, it’s also got some wonderful medicinal properties. Dill is a great remedy for intestinal gas and indigestion and it’s also known to stimulate milk flow in nursing mothers…I may need more dill in the months to come!
