English to Uruguayan Spanish Translations for Herbs and Spices

When we launched The Expat Cookbook, we got a few questions about the Uruguayan Spanish words for some of the herbs and spices used in our recipes.

So, we decided to put together a page of English to Uruguayan Spanish translations for the herbs and spices used in The Expat Cookbook (and a couple others we use regularly). If you think of something you would like added to the table below, please feel free to contact us.
