What goes with Lovage?
Lovage leaves bring a concentrated celery-like, savoury herbal aroma. The leaves are the reference here: thick stalks and seeds have different texture and extraction requirements. Compared with a neutral salad leaf, a small quantity of lovage can define an entire sauce or garnish.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Lovage?
Use lovage where its savoury character links naturally to vegetables, potatoes or a light broth. A tomato dish supplies its own sweetness and acidity, while a mild dairy component can soften the herb's impact. Combining lovage with parsley can broaden a green sauce without requiring an overwhelming dose of lovage alone.
