How to Make Pesto like an Italian Grandmother Recipe.

If you've ever tasted pesto in Italy you know that the pesto here in the United States just isn't the same.

How to Make Pesto like an Italian Grandmother Recipe

I received a lesson in how to make pesto from a real Italian grandmother last week and now I understand the difference and what makes it so. My friend Francesca makes the trip from her small town near the pesto-epicenter of Genoa, Italy to San Francisco once or twice a year - this time (lucky for us) she brought her mom and two-year old son Mattia.

Her mom makes a beautiful pesto (and perfectly light, potato gnocchi to go along with it) and offered to show me and my friend Jen how it is done. I have to say, I'll never look back, and will never make pesto any other way. If you love pesto, you really have to try this. Most of the pesto you encounter here in the U.S. is different for a few reasons. Another thing, Genovese pesto is famous in part because it is often made with young, small basil leaves.

Easily Good Eats: Beetroot Cake Recipe

The main explanation I could come up with was the fact that carrots are more easily available than beetroots. They are both sweet root vegetables and requires similar procedures for preparing a cake. But beetroot looks nicer! Most beetroot cake recipes I found on the internet were for chocolate beetroot cake, plain beetroot cakes were less common. Again I asked myself why? One of the more appealing aspects of working with beetroot is the beautiful red color.

The dough loses some of the red color during baking but taste is important. The beetroots can be either cooked or uncooked. Ingredients 2 cups flour 2 large beetroots, grated 1 cup sugar 230 ml oil 4 eggs beaten 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder Instructions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Ramen Hacks: 30+ Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Instant Noodles

Kenji Lopez-Alt] Ramen in the U.S. has come a long way. Once known only in its 10-for-a-dollar instant-lunch form—a staple of offices and dorm rooms all around the '80s and '90s—high-end real ramen shops are springing up left and right on both coasts and everywhere in between. As a half-Japanese kid in the '80s, I grew up eating instant ramen at least once a week, and it still holds a special place in my gut.

That said, my tastes have changed and expanded considerably over the years, and sometimes that little flavoring packet just isn't enough. As a card-carrying member of the Ramen Transmogrification Society of Greater New York,* it is my duty, my honor, and my privilege to share with you some of our methods and recipes.
