Creative Cooking Italian Recipe
Andrew's Pictorial Caprese on a Stick
Recipe Introduction
This is the Italian recipe that I chose for my March 2013 creative cooking class at my school. I chose this recipe because I love the taste of basil, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. This was the best recipe because it was easy and quick and it includes all of those ingredients. This recipe is quick so therefore it is easy to make multiple yields for any amount of people.

Comments
One major thing that I changed to the recipe was the use of skewers instead of tooth picks. I did this because toothpicks were to small to fit all of the ingredients on and it makes more sense to use skewers.
This recipe is very quick and easy and has a small amount of steps making this recipe quick and easy.
Make sure with the basil that you make sure the basil leaves are small because the basil adds a very strong taste to the recipe and sometimes the taste can be unpleasant
