Chervil is native to northern Europe and has been called “French parsley”. It’s one of the herbs usually included in the French “fines herbes” along with basil, chives, parsley, sage, savory and tarragon. Chervil is a member of the carrot family and looks somewhat like parsley. The taste has been described as a delicate combination of celery and licorice, but will vary with foods it’s added to.
