"Pesto is the quiche of the 80's."
-Nora Ephron, Playwright

The refrigerator light goes on...

I think that most of the pesto that I am served is simply greasy. It almost always has too much olive oil and then the sauce separates. Good cooking is about a balance of flavors and not using fat or salt to hide the sins of poor recipes.

Fresh Dill

There is, quite simply, no substitute for fresh dill that I have found. I have not yet found a recipe that calls for dried dill that tastes anything like fresh dill, and if there is no fresh dill in the market I simply won't attempt a recipe that calls for dill.
