I do have to credit an old
Note: About fennel, some people say it has a licorice taste. Personally, I feel like they taste related but not the same. I also love licorice (the candy and the root). However, with the fennel bulb you can avoid the strongest licorice taste by removing and discarding the stalks and fronds. I suggest saving them for your vegetable broth (HYPERLINK BROTH RECIPE).
