Consuming Passions: Pesto
Consuming Passions: Pesto

Ceri Jones is a huge fan of pesto! In her contribution to ckbk’s Consuming Passions strand, the chef and cookbook author tells us how she first enjoyed pesto from a jar, but then discovered the joy of making her own, including its many regional and seasonal variations. Ceri also shows some of the multitudes of ways pesto can be used in cooking. Yes, it’s a quick and easy sauce for pasta, but it is so much more besides. So dig, out your pestle-and-mortar and let’s get pesto-ing!

For those of us in the Northern hemisphere, the coats are coming out of storage, and leaves are turning, as things start to feel decidedly cooler. A perfect time to turn from cold plates to dishes that are warmer, and warming. This is when slow cooking comes into its own, producing melting textures and layers of deep flavor.
