Cooking tips

Kitchen Tip : On electric stovetops, use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the element. A warped or rounded pan may be a conversation piece, but will waste most of the heat.


Buy Fairtrade Food : The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.

For a product to display the FAIRTRADE Mark it must meet international Fairtrade standards. These standards are set by the international certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).

Producer organisations that supply Fairtrade products are inspected and certified by FLO. They receive a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and an extra premium that is invested in social or economic development projects.

  • Get involved in fair trade campaigns.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 1/2 c Basil, globe, fresh

1 1/2 c Basil, holy (krapau)

3 Garlic clove

2 ts Chives; chopped

1 1/2 c Olive oil

1 c Parmesan; grated

1 ts Salt

1/2 ts Pepper, black

1/2 c Pecan pieces

1 c Chicken, leftover; minced

2 Anchovy fillets (opt)

In a blender or food processor combine the basils, garlic, chives, cheese, anchovies, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the olive oil. Blend at low speed until a puree consistency is achieved. Drizzle in the remaining oil, blending at low speed until the oil is completely incorporated. Add the chicken and process no more than five seconds. Add the pecans and process no more than another five seconds; the chicken and pecans should still be identifiable. Serve as a sauce for pasta salad or hot pasta. Sam Waring
