Marina’s Story

(using the PHILIPS AVENT STEAMER BLENDER) Shamefully, I never dared try Pesto until I reached my late 20s. The green was pretty scary....and besides, who eats spaghetti with greens. It couldn't possible be tasty! But I was so so wrong. Little did I know how delicious it was and it suprisingly tasted rich! It's the pine nuts and the olive oil, I finally realized. Due to my own preconception, I decided to introduce Pesto to all the little kids that I teach cooking to.
