... food and cooking gets my attention, most of the time! Basil is such a juicy simple plant, with a refreshing summer smell, it brightens steamy hot summer days...
Here in Italy everyone has at least one plant of Basil in the garden or on the terrace, it's part of our daily life and we all learn to use it ithe kitchen at an early age, from our mothers and friends. Basil needs lots of water ! Water it in the evening and never under the sun, otherwise the leaves will burn.
I love simple tomato salad, cut in thick slices, crushed sea salt and torn basil leaves, all generously covered in olive oil....
... but summer is actually so far away !
