Feb 26th is National Pistachio Day!

My pistachio growing friends at Fiddyment Farms of Lincoln, California will be including a free cookbook with pistachio purchases on that day. The cook book is a publication was done by the California Pistachio Commission and is a cute, well done little book. Its 6×7 inches, 39 pages and has recipes ranging from salads to desserts.

When recently sending a gift to someone, I chose Fiddyment’s Garlic Onion Pistachios. Trust me…

My Top 5 Pistachio Eating Experiences

1. Kofte recipe from Parties That Cook‘s recipe deck (probably similar to Jamie Oliver’s recipe)
2. Pistachio macaroons (like amaretti) that were green in color, in Sicily. Chewy, pistachio goodness.
3. Of course any and all baklava
4. Pistachio locum from Nory Locum which you often find in middle eastern stores
5. And all of Fiddyment nuts> True confessions: I almost ate a whole bag of their toffee chocolate covered pistachios while skiing.
