his caprese alternative is so special. Make sure you catch the peaches when they are perfectly in-season and ripe! Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella, while the inside contains stracciatella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture.
INGREDIENTS • 2 ripe in-season peaches • 1 container or ball of burrata cheese, drained • 5 basil leaves, torn in a few pieces • 1-2 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar or 2 tbsp of balsamic pearls
DIRECTIONS STEP ONE
Cut the peach away from the pit in 0.5" - 1" wedges (you will have about 12-16 slices of peaches from each peach).
• 2-3 tbsp fruity green extra virgin olive oil
STEP TWO
• 1 tbsp honey
Cut the burrata cheese in similar size pieces to the peaches. To do this, cut the burrata ball in half and cut each half into 12-14 pieces. Arrange the peaches and burrata on a long narrow platter in a single line alternating between the peach and burrata.
• 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds* • A generous amount of fresh coarse ground black pepper • Maldon sea salt for sprinkling
STEP THREE
Arrange a few pieces of basil between each couple of cheese/burrata pieces. Sprinkle the almonds all over. * Toast the almonds by putting them in a dry frying pan on medium heat, tossing often until they are golden brown everywhere.
STEP FOUR
Drizzle the peach/burrata line-up with the balsamic vinegar or pearls, olive oil, honey and pepper. STEP FIVE
SERVES: 4
Sprinkle with maldon salt. DELICIOUSDISH

window treatments 2017 ST YLE TRENDS

What exactly are
ransitional shades give you the best of both worlds when it comes to a window treatment. They are dual-layered which creates the effect of a blind when opened and a shade when closed. They also function as a window shade while giving you the softening view of a sheer shade. Transitional shades are the type of window covering that softens natural lighting while providing you privacy. This highly flexible shade has become very popular in the past year, with more fabric colours and selection continue to grow.
DARE TO BE
BOLD
Turn your windows into a piece of art with modern transitional shades. They can be created with curve-shaped vanes for a totally unique look. This choice will make your window covering a focal point of the room while offering light control.
PRIVACY + BEAUT Y
Transitional shades look beautiful while providing ultimate privacy. Transitional shades block UV rays to protect your furnishings and are available from light-filtering to room darkening to perfectly meet your needs.
FULL
COVER AGE If you are looking to cover your sliding door with a unique window covering, transitional shades might be a perfect fit. They will give you full coverage when closed, and when open they hide away in the headrail giving you a full view to the outdoors. >>>

TOUGH SPOT Transitional shades can be motorized so you can cover those hard to reach windows. It will allow you to have ultimate convenience while providing total light control at the touch of a button or smart phone.
CUSTOM BEAUT Y
Make a dramatic fashion statement with your windows with transitional shades. They can be layered beautifully with custom drapery. Pairing the two window treatments will allow you to bring more of your personality into a room.
Transitional shades are the type of window shade that will provide you with an abundance of benefits while looking unique and beautiful.
