Have you ever noticed your chopping board while cutting the vegetables? If you have, then you must have noticed that every day we throw a major part of our vegetables in the waste-bin.

Soft, gooey, yummy, rich, subtle, delightful… I feel like I am running out of words to describe cheese and my love for it. Cheese is one such dairy delight that has zero haters. You can use it on pizzas, shred it over pasta, mix it into a soup to make it thick and rich or eat it just as it is, cheese is versatile and adds a depth of flavour. In India, one of the most popular forms of cheese available is mozzarella, the stringy cheese that makes pizzas oh-so-delicious! However, in recent times, another variety of cheese – burrata – has gained fame due to its buttery and creamy taste. Not many people know this but both these cheeses are made using the pasta filata (stretched curd) method, yet they are different. But how? If you have this and many other questions in mind, then fret not!
