Use

Use only thyme with fresh green leaves on nice bushy stems.

You can use thyme in two ways.

If you just want its flavour, add a whole sprig to the dish, and remove it after cooking.

Otherwise, if you want to eat it, you should pick off and use only the small green leaves.

Keeping

Thyme can be dried.

Soured dough

Underneath this strange name lies a baking secret: when you want to give a bread or pastry dough (without leaven, but with yeast) a certain percentage of fermented dough must be added, i.e. the same dough made the day before, and left to ferment overnight in the refrigerator.

mint

There are several kinds of mint with different flavours, some stronger than others. The important thing, if you have the choice, is to use the strongest flavour possible (crush a leaf with your fingers, and smell to compare).

chives

Chives grow in clumps, and the leaves used as a herb have an extraodinary taste. It's an essential for adding to salads, and everything else that can be eaten cold, because it doesn't like long cooking during which it loses most of its flavour.
