Continue reading →: Round Tables
No, we’re not talking about Camelot or knights. Today’s post is not even specifically about foods. I’m talking, instead, about what one of my English friends calls the conviviality of dining at a round table. Maybe this is something that is obvious to you, and I was probably vaguely aware…

The combination of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil is a match made in heaven. The color combination is just as Italian as the taste, too. The best caprese I ever ate was, of course, in Italy. It was in Montforte d’Alba, a village in the Piedmont, neighboring Barolo. Ken and…
