I recently suggested that with all the variations possible with pesto, perhaps a pesto cookbook was in order. Little did I know there already was a pesto cookbook! Very Pesto is divided into four sections, Herb Pestos, Pasta & Pesto, For Openers: Appetizers, Salads & Breads and Sides & Entrees. Garlic Thyme Pesto, Tarragon Pesto and even Sage Pesto are featured in this little gem of a book.
Cooking with Amy is giving away three copies of Very Pesto. The first three people to correctly answer the trivia question below will win a a book. Choose the correct answer and post your guess in the comment section, be sure to include your email so I can contact you, if you win! Only one entry per person so choose carefully.

- Grilled Mozzarella Tomato & Pesto Sandwiches Recipe
Lots of people pooh pooh the George Foreman grill. Not me. I think it's great for roasting vegetables, making shish kebabs and grilling delicate things like fish. But most of all I love it for being a makeshift panini press. Last night's grilled...

(apologies to Joss Whedon, et al) Because I'm such a joiner, here's my cheese sandwich, or better known as Panini Caprese. Pesto, fresh mozzarella, and tomato, grilled on rosemary ciabatta (calls for focaccia, but I'm out of semolina); just...
