Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

Flavor stand-ins for the parsley

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (cream, mushroom, onion, white wine, garlic, milk, pepper):

  1. Thymebetter flavor fit
  2. Marjoramabout as good a flavor fit
  3. Parsleythe original
  4. Celeryabout as good a flavor fit

Fit is the average pairing score against cream, mushroom, onion, white wine, garlic, milk, pepper. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
