MMM, Pesto! Have you ever tried Sage pesto? It's quite good. Simply use sage and walnuts in place of basil and pine nuts!

Hey Nicky, no, I have not tried the corn syrup trick yet: I don't want to buy a whole bottle that I am going to use only once!

Hey Ana,
If you generally like sorbets and don't mind a little zing to the taste, I'd be very surprised if you didn't like it ;)) Let me know what you think of it, once you have tried...

Hello Adriano, hera,
Thank you for visiting and your kind words! :)

Hi Altaf,
Yes, we have had red pesto before, however, we didn't make it ourselves :) I'm sure there will be a "next time" soon and will give the sun dried tomatoes a try.

Hi Jenny,
Good timing is everything ;)) How did it go? Hope you enjoyed the making of it as much as eating it afterwards…

Hi Stephen,
I so much would like to have a garden, only to be able to grow my own herbs and spices. Instead, my few plants rented a shared space right on my kitchen window sill. The pay is good though! Good luck with Paper Chef #8 — without having seen any other entries yet, I might have a secret favorite though… ;)

Hi Estelle,
Thanks for the tip! Have you tried it yet? I'm all curious on how it turned out... :)

My favorite use of home made pesto is to slather it on a nice steak. Wonderful combination and better than any steak sauce. It's one of Peter Gordon's signature dishes from Sugar Club and what my wife and I served as the main course at our wedding dinner.
