“Mmmm, this is so good! I'm eating this meal as I type and it is delicious! I have to say, I was skeptical when I read the recipe, immediately thinking of an over-green flavor, but I am happy to report that I was wrong! Unfortunately, I forgot to pick up a lemo” — a cook
“Made this tonight and it was wonderful! Did Heidi also show you the trick where once you have most of the pesto scraped out, put the bowl back on the base and pulse once to clean the blade? Then you can remove the blade and really scrape out every last delicio” — a cook
