The leaves can be used fresh (of course) or dried and stored for use over winter. You need much less of the dried (about a third) than the fresh leaf. The fresh leaves can be added to salads or chopped and added to roast meat sandwiches, herb butter and egg dishes. Marjoram is used in poultry stuffing and soups. It's aromatic flavour makes it an excellent addition to pot roast, veal and liver. When adding to cooked meals, add near the end of the cooking period.
What’s the difference between marjoram and oregano? Depends on who you ask. Many botanists believe they are the same but a chef will tell you the difference is huge. Oregano was long considered wild marjoram but the plants do not look particularly similar. To confuse matters further, marjoram is a member of the mint family and considered the twin of thyme. Marjoram has a more mild, sweet flavor than oregano with perhaps a hint of balsam.

Marjoram has a slightly mintly, citrusy taste. Use marjoram's fresh taste to enhance salad dressings, seafood sauces, soups, and poultry. A chicken that has been rubbed with garlic, salt, course black pepper and marjoram, then grilled makes a quick and delectable summer treat -- one of my favorites. Marjoram's flavor also works well with cheese, tomato, bean or egg dishes. Marjoram is most often used in recipes of French or English origin, whereas oregano's more robust flavor is often called for in the recipes of Italian, Greek, North African and Mexican cuisines.
