3302.1What the Joy of Cooking says about it ...OCTAVE::VIGNEAULTMon Nov 04 1991 21:4530
    
    A bouquet garnis is simply a combination of herbs and vegetables which
    you add to soups or stock for flavor.  Here's an example of one from
    the Joy of Cooking:
    
    Bunch together:
    
    3 or 4 sprigs parsley
    1/3 to 1/2 bay leaf
    2 sprigs fresh thyme
    1 leek (white part only)
    2 cloves
    
    To make removal easier, you can place them between several overlapping 
    celery ribs.
    
    ... and bind tightly with a white string.
    
    If you cannot get fresh materials, wrap dried herbs, still on the stem
    or coarsely crumbled but not powdered, in 4 inch squares of cheesecloth
    tied into small bags.  Store them in a tightly covered container.
    
    For 12 bags, allow:
    
    2 tablespoons dried parsley
    1 tablespoon each of thyme, marjoram
    2 bay leaves
    2 tablespoons dried celery leaves.

    You can also try putting them in a teaball if you don't want to bother
    with or don't have the cheese cloth.
