Cover and bring to a boil. Remove the rosemary. • Add the chopped basil and using a stick blender, blend till smooth. • Adjust salt and pepper to taste. • If serving immediately, then sprinkle some fresh basil over the soup before presenting it to guests. • If storing the soup, remember to reheat the soup slowly to a simmer, but do not boil it again to serve. • A dash of sour cream on top and a sprinkle of olive oil can also do wonders for presentation. by JAMES CLAIRE Forgive the title ladies; this is not food you need to cook for him, but indeed this month I am helping you out by suggesting recipes best cooked by him – for you! Whether it is your birthday, Mothers’ Day or an anniversary make him cook, if he does not already. He might just end up enjoying the process and find it relaxing and you might just enjoy him cooking for you. Don't say I don't try to help girls! LIFESTYLE | food
