The antipasto table in old-fashioned Italian restaurants is a sort of precursor to the modern-day salad bar, though usually far better. The idea is to let customers serve themselves (or be served by the maître d’) a few spoonsful of room temperature vegetable preparations—grilled eggplant, roasted peppers, marinated mushrooms—along with a little cheese and salumi. It’s an easy concept to adopt at home for a dinner party. Serve it buffet style, on a platter, or on individual plates as a first course. Change the vegetables seasonally; for spring use asparagus, fennel, snap peas and young onions. Choose the very freshest mozzarella, burrata or ricotta, and thinly sliced prosciutto, salame, mortadella or lardo.

Spring Antipasto Platter

spring onions

Salt

asparagus,

sugar snap peas

fennel bulbs,

Flaky sea salt or fleur de sel

Black pepper

olive oil

Basil or mint leaves

fior di latte, bufala mozzarella, burrata

Heat the broiler. Put a large pot of water on to boil.

Trim tops, roots and outer layer of spring onions, then arrange in one layer on a broiler pan. Broil until they are lightly charred on one side, 2 to 3 minutes, then turn and broil the other side until onions have softened a bit, about 3 minutes more. (It’s fine if they become blackened in spots.) Remove pan and let cool to room temperature.

When water boils, salt well and submerge asparagus. Cook briefly, about 2 minutes for medium spears. Lift asparagus from water and spread in 1 layer on a kitchen towel and let cool to room temperature. Repeat process with the sugar snap peas and spread them on a separate kitchen towel.

Arrange spring onions, asparagus, snap peas and fennel on a large platter. Drape prosciutto around the edge. Season vegetables lightly with sea salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Garnish platter with basil or mint leaves. Put cheese on a small cutting board and pass separately. (Alternatively, compose individual plates with all components.)

Classic Italian gelato showcases the natural creaminess of milk, making it a versatile and refreshing treat.

Classic Italian Gelato: Creamy Bliss You Can Make at Home

whole milk (at least 3% fat)

heavy cream (with 36-40% fat)

sugar

milk powder (to boost texture)

cornstarch (helps create a smoother gelato)

vanilla extract (use sparingly)

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of whole milk, 1 cup of heavy cream, and ⅓ cup of granulated sugar until dissolved.

Mix in 2 tablespoons of milk powder and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, stirring until smooth and free of lumps.

Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions for about 20-30 minutes.

Transfer the churned gelato into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours.

Let the gelato sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
