Darrell always seems to have his nose in a cookery book these days ….. ever since his last stay with our friend Hugh who lives the showbiz life in Notting Hill.
Not that either Nigel or I are complaining because we have been enjoying some most acceptable comestibles of late.
Yesterday he decided to have a go at making his own pesto sauce , so there was much toasting of nuts ….
…… and the blitzing thereof ……
Darrell is still a little reluctant and shy to cook in front of an audience yet, but will call Nigel to take the all important taste test as soon as he is happy with the results…….
……. he knows the little fella will be nothing but robustly honest, especially where food and his stomach are concerned.
…… and Darrell knows he is on to a winner when Nigel asks if he can clean out the bowl and lick the spoon!
Darrell is looking very serious about this new passion......looks like everyone is going to benefit in a delicious culinary way with lots of good eating for the holiday season! Lucky Monkey and Nigel with Darrell's creative juices taking a whole new turn!....Dianne

ReplyDeleteI love making pesto chicken but have never made my own pesto. (Or my own chicken for that matter.)
ReplyDeleteHugh is an inspiration to us all.
