I'm pretty sure anise and fennel are the same thing.

Suzanne Somers has a couple of recipes with fennel in her books. One is a simple side dish, just saute sliced fennel bulbs in olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, serve with simply prepared chicken or fish.

I've seen recipes with fennel mostly for fish, sometimes for chicken. You can eat the stalks like celery.

Officially anise, star anise, and fennel are different plants. However, I have heard them used to refer to different parts of the same plant here in the US. If you get the seeds though, it is exactly the same as far as I know. You can actually use all parts of the plant in cooking and I have seen in some shops where they call the leaves anise and the bulb itself fennel. They had a whole iron chef america show devoted to fennel recently.

It's good in, or as cole slaw. I add a ferw fennel seeds to boost up the flavour when I use fennel.
