I have always thought this was Chervil but someone has told me that chervil
is an annual and does not overwinter.
Could it be some other culinary herb?

It might be yarrow, which isn't really used as a culinary herb any
more, but used to be - it was also used as a toothache remedy. It
certainly fits the flower/foliage description, and it's a perennial.
There is a pink variety, which we have in our garden.

Does yarrow seed taste of aniseed?
