I was inspired by the Librarian and the Kitchen blog to blog a recipe. I usually enjoy cooking, but really need to be in the mood. My daughter is a waitress & barista (and a uni student) and last week I enjoyed a creamy pumpkin, chicken dish with linguine & freshly made pesto at the restaurant where she works.
