You might already have a herb garden in your yard, on your balcony or on your window sill. It comes in handy, when friends are coming over for dinner. With various herbs you can make your own pestos to vary from the usual basil and parmesan combinations. If you're planning to serve a fish dish, a cilantro-based pesto with some dill is a perfect fit.

Just pick about 2 decilitres of cilantro, add half the amount of dill, some walnuts, a dash of oil and some water. Salt to taste and add lemon juice. Blend until smooth.

Then set the table, welcome the guests and enjoy the meal
