I love to be creative !

My producer from Norway is here and we've been doing a lot of brainstorming about the concept for our next show...This means that we are talking about food all the time, but not much cooking is done to be honest...
There is so much to discuss: Who will sponsor the project? Which places in Greece will we visit ? Which foreigners will come along on this culinary tour? We are talking to a Greek Production company for a possible co-production..it's all very exciting, but time is also pressuring us..We should do the shootings during the summer or at least late summer, cause the weather should be perfect..So, we have to hurry up ! After hours of discussing the show we crash at a local coffeeshop, eat a sandwich with mozarella and pesto...it's so, so...Think the pesto is from a jar, I hate that! It's so easy to make pesto, you just take a bunch of fresh basil leaves, 2 garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons full of grated parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and throw all this in the blender.Give it a good stir, add more oil to make a smooth paste,then stir again. Make more if you want and put the pesto in the freezer, so you can enjoy it any time with your pasta,on sandwiches or in your minestrone soup!
Even those who never cook can make this, it's so easy and quick! cook your favorite pasta, drain it and keep 2 tablespoons of the boiling liquid. add pesto to the pasta( with the liquid), stir and add more parmesan, fresh pepper and dig in!!!

with love,
esther.
