Congrats on the WaPo newsletter gig, Julia! (I hit Subscribe so fast) That stew looks excellent! Perfect thing to wind down winter—and the pesto’s a great way to welcome in spring.

Speaking of spring: I want to like asparagus more than I do. I love to slather pesto on veggies (hello, green beans!). In your guesstimation, do you think one of these pestos might be a good match for complementing asparagus??

Thanks Amy! And honestly any of these would be great on asparagus! I’d also recommend grilling or roasting your asparagus so you can really access its sweetness!

You always have so many useful ideas! I have also made pesto with arugula and Swiss chard, so many possibilities! ❤️

These charts are incredible - they've helped me become more improvisational/intuitive in my cooking in a big way. It's becoming second nature to think in terms of techniques applied across multiple flavor profiles, which is so fun and liberating. Thank you!

Also excited to check out the other newsletter - that's awesome news :)
