A Chefs Take on: Bottarga

Derek Dammann from Restaurant DNA created this mouth watering plate with Bottarga. I can just imagine the different flavors mixing altogether in my mouth.

The delicate presentation, makes it look like a painting. A very summery dish, to try at DNA, or at home!

Here are the ingredients:

• Scallops Crudo (raw)
• Micro basil
• Chili
• Lemon juice
• Bottarga

Macchi Inc.'s Burrata in the Montreal Gazette

Hello everyone!

It’s Saturday morning and Paolo and I are having our morning coffee and finished reading Lesley Chesterman’s article in today’s Montreal Gazette about a tasting she had with Paolo at Restaurant DNA in Montreal, performed by part owner and Executive Chef Derek Dammann.

For the readers that have “been” with me from the beginning, you all know that I started the “blogging” on the Macchi Inc. facebook fan page, not long ago. I then, spoke very briefly about Burrata as my first introduction to our products. Thanks to the huge and positive feedback and everyones comments it made it very easy for me to know what you were all interested in reading about.

Having that said, I would like to thank you all for your support and please continue commenting about our posts and let me know what more it is that you would like to hear about. (more…)
