This is trusting you made Mint Pesto last week and either have some left over or the determination to make more. The mint in our garden is still low, but delicate and sweet: perfect for the second batch of pesto in as many days. Think about (doubling) the amount of lemon juice: try a bit … Continue reading

The only thing that could make this early morning better was waking to the sunrise AND the scent of bread in the oven. The only one in the house who could grant that wish was me. I confess to a block when it comes to making fresh bread. Doing it well is an art I … Continue reading
