I grow this wonderful old fashioned herb in my herb garden, it's one of my favourites - I love it's warm celery-lemon flavour. Lovage was used extensively during the Middle ages - right up to Victorian times - then it somehow fell out of fashion, which is such a shame as it is such a versatile and interesting herb. This is a wonderful creamy salad dressing, which perks up any mundane leaves - I like to serve it with Mache or Lamb's Lettuce and Tomatoes for a simple and yet elegant starter. It also works well with cooked spring vegetables such as peas, baby carrots, new potatoes and young broad beans.

Just a brilliant and very tasteful and delicious dressing that can only be described as getting you're own spoon and slurping it up. I didn't have lovage, but instead; used fresh celery tops that are growing in my garden and minced these up to make this pleasant tasting, smooth dressing that just sits so nicely on top of your salad greens. I made this and had some fresh French bread that we scooped up with the last little bites of this dressing and have already planned to make this again this weekend. Beautiful and thanks so much FT! Made for SSC Pet Parade July 2008.
