What goes with Sweet Cicely?
Fresh sweet-cicely leaves are the tender, divided fronds of culinary Myrrhis odorata. They bring a green anise or liquorice perfume rather than the dense spice character of anise seed. This card covers the leaves, not the root, mature seed or essential oil.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Sweet Cicely?
Rhubarb, peas, carrot and mild fish leave room for the anise note. Cream can carry the leaf into a frozen or set dish, while a tart condiment, salted cheese or meat-stock reduction gives that soft aroma a more savoury setting. Sweet-smelling aroma does not provide a predictable amount of sugar replacement.
