Mad Cook
Master Chef
A couple of months ago I bought a small supermarket pot of basil. Now I rarely have any luck with basil but I put it on the window sill in the kitchen where it would get plenty of light and partial sunshine. To my surprise it grew. And it grew, And it grew, And it carried on growing. It's now in a deep 8" diameter pot and I can't see out of the kitchen window. I think it's aiming at world domination.
Anyway, I'm sick and tired of pasta with pesto, tomato and basil soup (hot and cold), tomato & basil salad, grilled tomatoes with basil, ratatouille with basil, green salad with basil, basil on pizza, basil on anything with mozzarella and omelette with basil. I've tried iy with strawberries too, whch was OK but not earth shhattering. A friend suggested that I lined the baking tin for a pound cake with basil leaves - don't do it is my advice. It might work with pelargonium leaves but it doesn't with basil leaves.
Any recommendations? Not involving tomatoes or pasta would be good.
