Welcome to this online resource for dance educators, students, and teaching artists! The Elements of Dance are the foundational concepts and vocabulary that help students develop movement skills and understand dance as an artistic practice. This framework is a way to discuss any kind of movement.
Tarragon, parsley, marjoram, and rosemary are all good substitutes for thyme, since they have a mild flavor. Basil and oregano can also be used, but these typically have a bold flavor. Italian seasoning is a blend of common herbs and spices, and it can also be used in place of thyme.
Dried herbs have a concentrated flavor that can tend toward bitterness, so use less of it than you would fresh. And vice versa, fresh herbs tend to have a more delicate flavor than dried, so I tend to use more of it. My general rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 times the amount of fresh as I would dry. Meaning that if the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, I'd start with 1 1/2 teaspoons of fresh thyme.
