mozarella tomato & basil

You can't ask for a fresher faster appetizer/side dish. Its impressive and delicious. Buy some FRESH mozarella (pay the price if you have to and unless you live in New Jersey surrounded by Italians you probably will), get a nice big fat beefsteak tomato (if their in season shoot for an heirloom) a couple leaves of basil, slice everything, arrange, drizzle with good olive oil, salt, pepper and serve. You can prep it earlier in the day of 5 minutes before- throw it between two slices of bread and you have a gourmet meal. ENJOY!

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
