See the Edible Herb FAQ!

As others have posted, sorrel makes an excellent sour soup,
adds acidity to salads and makes an excellent source sauce
(very good with pork, duck and other fat meats). If you
remove the stem and sweat it down (like spinach), it freezes
well.

Winter savory can be used much like a slightly more bitter
thyme - hyssop is more bitter still - but I assume that you
mean summer savory. It is called "bohnenkraut" in German,
and is THE herb to add to bean dishes - especially dried bean
salads, but pretty well any bean dish. And, as posted, you
can add it to most savoury dishes.
