The Italian PESTO LADY
When I was a little girl my idea of happiness was cooking and baking.
I used to go into the garden, collect all types of leaves, would mix them together and “cook them”
As I grew up, life changed its course; I met my soulmate, had 2 beautiful girls and worked in the corporate world.
But cooking remained my passion and dream.
I did set up a goal through life – the dream was to become reality at the age of 64 and do what I loved best, that was cooking and baking of course…
In my life, I would cook for family and friends and they would tell me that I should go into the food world; they taught me to look at my values, identify what I loved best and what made me happy.
Thoughts became to emerge; I became more confident and decided to take the leap.
I’m definitely happier and get a huge sense of satisfaction when someone recommends my products to others.
As I say… I am not a chef I am a cook who love food
The business has succeeded via word of mouth and gone from better to best and now Nonna Sue AKA The Italian Pesto Lady has a happy heart at last.
The products available at present are:
· Basil pesto
· Salsa Verde
· Roasted peppers, basil & chillies pesto
· Chicken liver pate’
· Vegetable Ragu’
· Mince Ragu’
· Dried porcini mushrooms
I do like to introduce a new Italian product all the time, so look out for the next one!
Follow The Pesto lady on Facebook, by liking my page: https://www.facebook.com/theitalianpestolady/
BUON APPETITO!

Porcini mushrooms are definitely the most desirable of the Boletes mushrooms for cooking and eating.
My very own favourite dish is the PORCINI MUSHROOM RISOTTO, herewith my recipe!
*************************************************
PORCINI MUSHROOMS - RISOTTO
2 litres of chicken or vegetable stock
4 tbsp. olive oil or unsalted butter
1 onion, very finely chopped
300 g button mushrooms finely sliced
50 g dried porcini (soaked in about 100 gr of warm water) then drained and chopped before added
350 g Arborio rice
60 g Parmesan, freshly grated
80 g unsalted butter
Salt and pepper
1. Put the stock in a pan, bring to the boil and keep at a low simmer.
2. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large pan over a low heat, add the onion and fry until soft, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the button mushrooms and the porcini and cook for 5 minutes, until soft and lightly browned.
4. Add the rice and stir for a minute or two, then add one or two ladles of boiling stock.
5. Stir continuously over the heat, adding stock a ladleful at a time as each addition is absorbed.
6. After 20 minutes, check that the rice, it should be tender with a firm bite in the centre, and the risotto should be moist.
7. Remove the pan from the heat, add lots of yummy Parmesan as well as butter and stir in well.
8. Season to taste and serve on warm plates.
