Keep up the great work!
Thank you Jeanette, I don’t really have a specific recipe for pesto, I usually just crush basil leaves with some garlic, pine nuts, a little bit of lime juice and some olive oil as well as salt.

Claudia – I think this will be even better with heirloom tomatoes, great idea!
Olga – I like the idea of making something like this baked, I’ll have to try it!
Cheers,
