Southern Basil Pesto and Vicchysoisse Encore Recipes

Many thanks to Linda Watson of Cook for Good for joining us at the market and sharing her wonderful Southern Summer Pesto and Vichysoisse Encore samples and recipes! Linda shared a lot of great information with market shoppers about how to prepare these items in a more healthful way (less cheese, for instance, in the pesto, and yogurt in the vichysoisse rather than cream), as well as how to stretch the food budget when preparing these dishes. Making the soup after the pesto, she explained, allows you to use all the basil stems and the parmesan rinds for flavorings. Check out Linda's web site for more recipes and tips on saving money while cooking in a healthy way with local ingredients!
