Most people are familiar with classic Italian pesto, a green sauce
made from basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt, and
olive oil. But Leslie Lennox, founder of the award-winning
artisanal pesto company Hope's Gardens, shows us that pesto need
not be limited to its original ingredients-and that creative pestos
can serve as building blocks for all manner of flavorful dishes,
just like any good "mother sauce." In Pesto: The Modern Mother
Sauce, Lennox introduces readers to a new way to think about pesto.
In the right proportion, almost any combination of plants, garlic,
nuts, cheese, seasoning, and oil can make a delicious
sauce-especially when you're using what's on hand, what's local,
and what's in season. Lennox offers up several favorite pesto
recipes, and then takes these simple sauces a step further. They
serve as the building blocks for 97 kitchen-tested recipes for
breakfast, lunch, dinner, and more. From risotto and ramen to
chicken fajitas and swordfish kebabs, everything tastes better with
pesto!
