Last night I couldn’t interest anybody in coming to dinner with me, so I went on my own to a place just five minutes from me, called Quotidiano. It’s known as a pasta place, but a friend told me they have marvellous burrata, so I decided to check it out. Mmmmmmmm!

I first tried burrata in Chicago. I was there for a speaking engagement and had one night to dine out. I ate in an Italian place and couldn’t decide what to eat. It was a warm summer night  and I was eating outside (just like last night), and the waitress recommended burrata with salad. I was hooked!

If you’ve never tried burrata, it is a large ball of mozarella mixed with cream and there’s nothing else quite the same. Try it — you’ll like it!
