Burrata

Last weekend I finally got the chance buying Burrata cheese. This fresh cheese is imported from a small farm in Italy and is basically a buffalo mozzarella with cream. The one they sell at "de Kaaskamer" in Amsterdam is of outstanding quality. You really should eat it as fresh as possible. Mine was made on a tuesday and consumed on saturday.

Drizzle some extra vergine oil of good quality over it together with some grinded black pepper. Buon appetito!

Boring Chicken?

If you're bored with ordinary dry chicken breasts try this:

Sauté some chicken legs in olive oil. Add some fresh thyme.
As you turn down the gas, add some honey and finish in
an oven (about 175 degrees) until cooked.

On the side serve rice together with different grilled vegetables
as: green asparagus, tomatoes, zucchini or what ever you like.
