Mexican food is a rich, vibrant cuisine known for its bold flavours, colourful ingredients, and deep cultural roots. While chillies, corn, and beans often steal the spotlight, herbs are the unsung heroes that give Mexican dishes their signature aroma, balance, and character. Whether you're simmering a pot of pozole, stuffing tacos or stirring up a fresh salsa, the right herbs make all the difference.
This simple guide takes you through the essential herbs for Mexican food — how they’re used, what they taste like, and tips for incorporating them into your own meals. Whether you're new to Mexican cuisine or just looking to add more depth to your cooking, this guide will help you master the herbal side of things.
For millions around the world, the smell of stir-fry or the sound of sizzling dumplings evokes more than just hunger — it stirs memories of family kitchens, street markets, and home.

While you dust off your Eurovision 2024 scorecard to check how the countries ranked, one thing’s for sure: Eurovision continues to bring people together like no other event. Whether you're comparing the wildest outfits or rewatching your favorites on YouTube, the Eurovision Song Contest is a yearly celebration of unity, sequins, and sometimes… surprisingly catchy tunes.
Every May, Europe turns up the volume, grabs the glitter, and settles in for one of the continent’s most iconic traditions: Eurovision. Since 1956, the contest has been bringing together countries from across Europe – and beyond – to celebrate music, culture, and a little friendly competition.
But Eurovision is about more than just key changes and pyrotechnics. It’s about connection. Families and friends cheering for their home country from opposite sides of the globe. Expats tuning in from afar. A shared moment that brings people closer, wherever they live.
