Cook's Notes

What can you do if you hate cilantro? There are lots of people out there who are born with the anti-cilantro gene. They think cilantro tastes like soap (or something just as bad). Unfortunately cilantro is common to many cuisines and it just pops its head up everywhere. I recommend that if it is an Asian dish you find it in, substitute the other Asian herb standbys - basil and/or mint. If it is a Mexican recipe use oregano or parsley in its place and if it is a Middle Eastern recipe, use parsley. Or just leave it out and don't make any substitution.
