  9. You just named two of my favorite chefs in the world and I love them both for the very reasons you made this blog. I can sit and listen to Mario explain cooking and life all day and I can sit and watch Morimoto use his knives for the same amount of time. Your pesto is gorgeous and your blog made me smile.

  16. I think Batali is growing on me. I didn't like him much before, but I'm really starting to love his recipes.

    That pesto looks incredible. I've been meaning to make some of my own, recently, guess this is a sign! =)
