  |   September 8, 2014   |  

Italian cooking starts with deceptively simple ingredients: hams - like the mouthwatering Prosciutto di Parma - that are cured to perfection, cheeses that are crafted with attention to detail, plus ripe fruit and herbs, all picked fresh, of course.

mozzarella and burrata

You might not be able to tour Italy (right now), but you can start you meal with this delicious appetizer made of two Italian classics: salty and buttery Prosciutto di Parma ham, and juicy and sweet Burrata alla Panna, a runny cheese that's taking the US by storm. Add some perfectly ripe pears baked in honey and a sprig of rosemary, and you'll be instantly transported to an Italian ristorante.
