For a long time I wondered what Burrata was. I’ll admit that I thought it was just a big mozzarella before I tried it. But it is so much more than that. It is a little tougher on the outside than mozzarella and on the inside it is so much creamier. I first discovered that in the summer of 2016 when I was working in a cafe in Zurich called Babu’s. A great place that is definitely worth visiting (make sure you book ahead for the weekend though, it gets full).

It is great served on a bed of cherry tomatos. In the Summer I like to get a mixture of Swiss grown tomatos from my favourite market salesman. He has around 10 varieties, each with a really individual taste. Great with some fresh basil and bruschetta.
