This is NOT pesto. Arugula, parsley, chives and leeks make this fabulously green, bosky and fresh-tasting sauce for pasta. Even better yet, it’s total fast lane cooking.

The Basics: Part I
Basic recipes for standbys & staples everybody should know! This time: chicken stock, breadcrumbs and garlic-infused oil.
Thai Basil Soda & Lemon Verbena Lemonade
Refreshing, herb-infused drinks to help get through the summer heat. Lemon Verbena Lemonade, herbal and almost glowing with citrus brightness; and Thai Basil soda, sugar syrup infused with the Thai basil flowers, giving it sweet anise and mint, and peppery basil flavor with floral notes for a fantastic homemade soda!
The Perfect Cosmo
The perfect cosmopolitan should be a cloudy flamingo-pink and smooth–but I like a bit of sharpness with some extra lime juice.
Spaghetti with Tomatoes & Black Olives
Retro gets refreshed with a summery & fresh take on spaghetti with tomato sauce & olives. Cherry tomatoes & oil-cured olives tangled in spaghetti – so good.
