Another delightful aspect of my culinary exploration in France is the discovery of "Anise Vert," also known as green anise or sweet cicely. This lesser-known herb has a delicate licorice-like flavor, which adds a unique and aromatic touch to various dishes.

Living in France has truly expanded my culinary horizons, and these lesser-known dishes, like Fouée and Tarte Tropézienne, have proven that the country's gastronomy is a treasure trove of hidden delights waiting to be discovered by adventurous palates.

Anis Vert or Green Anise is a species of herb that comes from the Apiaceae family of plants and related to Mint, Marjoram, Sarriette and Coriander.
