   This looks like a great alternative to your traditional Italian pesto. I going to try this one soon.

   Thank you, very useful. I wasnt really a big fan of Spinach for many years ( lie, I hated the stuff), but after shacking up with a vegetarian I kind of had to get used to it, and have gradually come to totally love the stuff. Spinach curry is now my absolute favourite! I recently found adedicated spinach recipes website which is my new favourite site now, you should take a look!

   Thanks very much for that! My father recently harvested a garden full of tomatoes , and I find myself the proud owner of two or four buckets worth! Of course I couldnt eat them all like that, but I did find a website full of even more tomato recipes here. A website dedicated the topic!! Crazy what you can find on the internets nowadays!!
