I use fresh basil and cilantro almost every week. Basil in pasta, pizza salad dressings, sauces, marinades and on garlic bread. A good starting point is anything you put fresh garlic in basil would be good too.
Cilantro is great in homemade salsa, gaucamole, sprinkled on any mexican dish, it's great in sauces for fish too. I make fish tacos with a sauce made of light sour cream, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper and a dash of hot sauce that's delicious. It's also good in cilanto rice.
Fresh herbs are less intense than dried so you use more than you would if they came out of a jar. They are also really good for you, they do not have the chemicals that virtually all dried spices contain and just like fresh veggies are loaded with antioxidents and vitamins, good stuff.
Another good one to grow is dill, it has a fresh taste that goes with lots of different foods. I put it in my potato salad, tuna, marinades etc. Rosemary is good on roasted potatoes and while we dont eat meat much it is included in lots of recipes for chicken, turkey and lamb.
Google some recipes and try them out, nothing better than growing your own food!
