Burrata seems to be all the rage these days, on the menu of just about every trendy restaurant. That strange looking wobbly white ball of cheese with a molten centre that oozes out when you cut into it, there is no other cheese like it. (Is there??)

The name burrata is linked to the Italian word for butter, which hints at the rich and creamy taste of burrata. With a cheese this good yet not that expensive to buy, you can make something really special with very little effort and modest cost.
