Food Glossary Entry For: ChivesThis is the description page for Chives and includes a description as well as an image, if available and a selection of recipes from this site that relates to the cookery term: Chives. ![]() Chives, Allium schoenoprasum are the smallest species in the Alliaceae (onion family). They are also the only member of the onion family native to both the New and Old Worlds, being found in Europe, Asia and North America. Chives are also the only herb always referred to in the plural. This is because of their growin habits, as they are always found growing in clumps. The English name chive derives from the French word cive itsself derived from cepa, the Latin word for onion. Chives are a common household herb and the leaves are commonly shredded and used as a garnish for fish, potatoes and soups. Chives also work well with eggs and make an excellent addition to omelettes and scrambled eggs. Chives are also one of the four 'fines herbes' of French cuisine (along with tarragon, chervil and parsley). Chives are generally available from supermarkets year-round and the freeze-dried varieties in jars also make a decent substitute.

Beef is a very flavoursome meat, as long as it is well matured, but it does have the cachet of being expensive and to be used only as a treat. Partly this is due to the history of beef as a high-status ingredient. Partly it's due to the cost of the better cuts. But you have a whole animal to consider and this article takes you through the history of beef eating and gives you a recipe for both the best and one of the poorer cuts of meat.
