The classic pesto mixture of basil, garlic, olive oil, nuts, and Parmesan cheese is a popular favorite, but why stop at basil? Unlock the full potential of pesto by introducing into the mix other delicious herbs, including rosemary, mint, parsley, thyme, tarragon, and cilantro. This diverse collection of recipes for fresh pestos, pastes, and purées takes inspiration from cultures beyond Italy, with international delights such as Moroccan Chermoula, Brazilian Tempero Purée, and Peanut-Cilantro Pesto. In addition to 49 pesto recipes, 67 creative recipes for cooking with pesto show off how versatile these simple sauces can be.

Sun dried tomato & almond Pesto: I used it on Nan bread as a pizza with fresh basil, feta cheese, spinach and tomato.4. Green herb-mango vinaigrette5. Herbed butter6. Blueberry Basil cream cheese.Everyone was so excited and loved it all!I think 8-10 people, of the 43 that were there, are all buying this book!Lol!

Title: Quick and simple way to punch up dinner
Review: Some great ideas for different pestos and ways to use them. Add pesto to a rotisserie chicken the second or third time you're serving it, and suddenly no one is bringing up that you're having chicken AGAIN. Perfect for summer cooking.

Title: Pesto International! And that's just the start!
Review: The author, Olwen Woodier, manages to go far beyond the perimeters of what we know as pesto and it's not just a cookbook of pesto recipes. She also gives recipes for meat, fish, and vegetarian meals into which the pesto recipes can be incorporated. Her pesto recipes go from the traditional Pesto Genovese to Romesco sauce, tomatillo-sunflower salsa, peanut-sesame pesto, aiolis, and salad dressings. I can't wait to start cooking.

Title: Well worth the investment
Review: This book opened my eyes to a world of creativity. I learned what I was doing wrong, a few tricks such as how to keep basil pesto from turning dark, how to use different nuts and seeds and the way to innovate on a basic recipe. My favorite so far is the red pepper and walnut purée. Yum! I also love that she includes recipes to use the pesto, and she has suggestions for vegans.

Title: This complements any other cookbook you have
Review: Love love love this book. And I actually have one entire room dedicated to cookbooks. Obviously this is an "on the side" kind of cookbook but if you truly love making food for your loved ones you need this. Follow your main recipes and pile on the fabulousness with one of these recipes. Favorites are the poblano oregano puree and the romesco but really I could go on and on. Seriously if you are a beginner cook using some of these recipes will get you major kudos and if you are a serious cook this will give you tasty extra special options.

Review: I should have read the info more carefully - I was expecting 116 recipes to make a variety of pestos and dressings but a good number of the recipes are for using the pestos in dishes. But regardless, some nice looking recipes that Iâm looking forward to trying out - thinking I need to expand my herb garden.Itâs an American book using cups for as units for measurements. If you donât have measuring cups just use a small mug or a tea cup, roughly the same size. Iâm ok with cilantro and arugula but âchileâ as a spicy pepper and not a country is a first!
