Italian Seasoning

Italian Seasoning
Euro/American

"Italian Seasoning" is kind of undefined and wouldn't be used in Italy where specific regional seasoning mixes would prevail. Fresh herbs are much better wherever possible but the dried seasoning is called for in many North American recipes. Here's a version that's as good as any and better than most - particularly better than store bought - and has enough stuff in it to cover all regions of Italy.
