What goes with Tarragon?
Fresh tarragon provides a distinctive anise-like herbal note. Leaf condition and the product itself affect intensity, so the name does not justify a fixed dose. This profile uses fresh leaves and keeps dried tarragon or an infused vinegar as explicit alternative forms.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Tarragon?
Choose one clear route for the herb: a sauce, a dressing, softened aromatics or a fresh finish. Rich egg or cream can carry its flavour, but a second anise-like ingredient may crowd it. With fish, carry the herb through a measured sauce or a fine fresh finish instead of burying delicate flakes beneath a dense layer of leaves.
