Great, Mara! Looking forward for the next videos. I love crostinis - I tell them bruschetta. Maybe there is a difference, but I don't know it. I also love burratta, but where I live it is almost impossible to find. I would replace it with mozzarella at best. I am happy you shared this video. All the best! Anca
