Daily dish: Traditional pesto Genovese
I'm a traditionalist when it comes to the classic dishes. Therefore, for me, pesto is made from basil, olive oil, cheese, garlic, pine nuts and salt. There is no sunflower oil, I don't replace the pine nuts with my beloved hazelnuts, I don't ditch the basil and add cilantro.
