Amongst the gems to be found in the home of my 98-year-old grandmother was this, a Common Combinations Herb Chart from 1985. Feel free to copy this and print it out!
Following the NOTES at the bottom, we see meals on the left, and herbs on the top. Then you just match them: Got beef and rosemary? Add thyme! See a * at a particular index? That means that herb is to be used alone.
Many of these herbs and herb combinations are good when used in conjunction with onion, garlic and/or with sauces - tomato, white, etc.
