It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since the Northern Ireland heats of the World Pesto Championship. This time those pestles and mortars will be put through their paces at the Guildhall in Derry-Londonderry as contestants work their magic with basil, pine nuts, oil and garlic.

The Guildhall will take on that Genoese flavour on Tuesday the 10^th of November. The competition is open to anyone who thinks they can make a decent pesto. You must use only traditional, authentic and genuine ingredients, which are provided for you on the day.

The winner will take part in the finals in Italy.
