Our Favourite Things: Freezing Herbs and Ginger Root 
Tip: Freeze Herbs
I love the taste of fresh herbs but often find I don’t have the right fresh ingredients in the fridge at the right time or can’t use all that I have purchased or grown at once. While frozen herbs won’t work for garnish I’ve found washing, chopping and freezing herbs such as dill, parsley, rosemary, sage and oregano are handy to have in the freezer to add to recipes on the go.
While many cooking sites suggest preparing in ice cube trays with water or oil I have found simply placing dry herbs in snack sized ziplock bags with the air squeezed out works great.
I am also a fan of tossing ginger root into the freezer since you can finely grate frozen ginger and add to recipes.
Hint: you can peel if you want but it is not necessary.
