Karin van Dam Indeed! I happened to make some
yesterday. You don't really need a recipe for pesto, unless you're a pesto
purist... My general recipe looks like this:

Lots of fresh green herbs: basil, cilantro (called coriander in the UK), or
whatever you like

liquid: olive oil, but I've also been known to add beer or wine

nuts: pine, cashew, walnut, sunflower or pumpkin seeds

flavourings: garlic, chiles (chipotles are the best IMHO)

optional cheese (I don't) Mix everything in the blender. I like to add the
nuts last, so they keep some crunch.
