NOTES:

  1. History:

      Traditionally, cooks in Provence use various herbs in various combinations as they please, and use them both dried and fresh, so Herbs de Provence is strictly a commercial convention. Some mixes, particularly by American companies, now include Lavender, but that wasn't "traditional" even in the 1970's formulas.
