The Happiness that Whole Foods Bring

I posted a recipe for home made pesto a while back, and I've enjoyed tinkering with it over time.

I also have a hobby of helping patients in a local hospital when they simply cannot stomach hospital food. I bring them home-made fare loaded with nutrition, flavor and pleasure-providing texture. The medical staff notices that they tend to do better soon after eating my home-cooked meals.

This month I helped a friend, and he's been doing a review series on Facebook about everything I made for him (a LOT!). I doubt that any professional chefs have enjoyed such fun at having their hard efforts praised in public. 

My friend is making more medical progress, thank GOD. Here's a peek at his humor-filled food review series in progress:


Continuing with my reviews of Yocheved Golani's meals for me:
This is a home made pesto on rice cracker. Most pestos are purees, heavy on oil. This is a rather dry pesto with stems and leaves relatively intact. It's hard to describe the texture, almost like a dry rub. Delightfully different.

Yocheved Golani Fennel greens blended with Brazil nuts, pumpkin plus sunflower seeds, Himalayan salt and grapeseed oil, preserved with a spritz of fresh-squeezed lemon juice. I'm so happy that you enjoyed the lively mixture.

Ira Machefsky Interesting. I usually don't like Fennel because of the licorice taste. Maybe the leaves are different.

Yocheved Golani The organic nuts and seeds bring a bouquet of flavor and aroma to the hand-made pesto. It ain't yer store-bought stuff.
