Classic Basil Pesto Recipe
Pesto is an iconic Italian sauce that originated in Genoa. Made with a minimal list of ingredients – basil, pine nuts, hard cheese, garlic, extra virgin olive oil and salt – it is culinary genius. My Classic Basil Pesto recipe reflects the way I grew up making it with my Mom’s Italian family, except I use vegetarian Parmesan cheese made with microbial rennet.

Salsa Verde with Avocado
Salsa verde is a flavorful green sauce made with fresh tomatillos; it is a popular condiment in Mexican cuisine. My recipe for Salsa Verde with Avocado results in a mild sauce (I’m a spicy food wuss), but you can adjust the heat as you see fit. We use salsa verde on just about everything; I’m fond of adding it to grilled tofu.

I was inspired to make this Roasted Eggplant Dip with Yogurt, Walnuts and Mint after tasting something similar at a Persian dinner back in the 90s; this is my personal recipe developed through trial and error over the years.
