Why is it necessary to simmer the basil in the cream, steep and then blend? I brought the cream to just simmering, as indicated, and then let it steep for 30 min, and when I got back the basil was almost brown and the cream had a film on top. Why not just blend the raw basil with the cream like you would for pesto or any other sauce? In fact, wouldn’t that give you better flavor and color?

I am surprised by the green color in the picture above, I don’t see how your basil could remain that green after heating the cream and then steeping for 30 min. I wish I had thought about this before ending up with congealed cream and brown basil.

I love the paragraph at the beginning of your blog. The special tools, then the older tools. That was exceptionally worded nicely. I’m interested in the choc. cake recipe too. Thanks for being on pinterest.
