Summer savory (Satureja hortensis) is the better known of the Savory species. It is an annual, but otherwise is similar in use and flavor to the perennial Winter savory. Summer savory is a traditional popular herb in Atlantic Canada, where it is used in the same way sage is elsewhere. It is the main flavouring in dressing for turkey and chicken, in stews such as fricot, and in meat pies. Dried, it is available year round in local grocery stores and unlike other herbs, is always added to recipes in large generous heaping spoonfuls.
