*nod* I do that sometimes, make pesto but vary up the nuts and herbs. I don't tend to use cherry tomatoes, though, which is the difference between this and my normal cooking.
Jamie Oliver does tend to cook ab it like me, though ,I always find his recipes a bit boring for that reason.

Atm I don't have a blender good enough for making pesto, though, so I just use commercial or chop everything and call it deconstructed. I did promise, so I'll do it exactly as you say when I sort out a blender.
