I make Iranian broad bean and dill rice. Boil rice till nearly soft. Drain, rinse in cold water to stop it getting soft. Put a thin layer of oil in a pan, then add thinly sliced potatoes. Turn heat really low. Mix rice with chopped dill and a tin of broad beans and salt and pepper. Put rice back on top of potatoes. Dot butter on top of the rice. Put lid on pan tight. I wrap a tea towel round the lid too. The potatoes cook to a crisp and the rice on the edge of the pan does too (this crispy layer is called tadig - we fight over it in our house!) if it's a flat sided pan, and you are clever, you can upend the pan and it slides out like a sand castle. Really lovely, give it a try!

Nessa, you could try and make Gravadlax which uses a lot of dill...

We were in a Turkish restaurant last weekend and a few of the meze had dill in. There was one which I have replicated at home this weekend. Steam some beetroot and cut thinly, add a pinch of salt, dill, olive oil and lemon juice. It is amazing. I think the other one was a dill and yoghurt dressing with roasted vegetables.

You can use the lemon balm to make a posset, or any other custard for that matter. Just use as per vanilla or bay

Lemon balm looses its flavour when cooked so you could chop add to cream cheese. It is also supposed to make meat tenderer so I have wrapped it around chickens when roasting it and, although you couldn't taste the lemon balm the chicken was succulent and tasted great.

We used lemon balm in elderflower cordial.

I use lemon balm to make tea. Goes well with mint and chamomile and a touch of something sweet. Knocks me out if I have trouble sleeping too.

Lemon balm is good for sore throats, 6-8 leaves in slightly cooled boiled water, honey if wanted.
