Tarragon "Artemisia dracunculus" is a bushy aromatic herb of the family Asteraceae, the dried leaves and flowering tops of which are used to add tang and piquancy to many culinary dishes, particularly fish, chicken, stews, sauces, omelets, cheeses, vegetables, tomatoes, and pickles.

Among certain chefs, tarragon is known as "the Cadillac of herbs". Not because it's any more costly than its other tender, leafy contemporaries, but because tarragon's flavor delivers a certain sophistication to whatever dish it joins. In short, this herb's got class.
