Bread Crumbs

	Bread crumbs can be made at home using dried out bread. Tear the bread into small pieces and add to the food processor. Pulse until smooth. Placing bread in the toaster for a few seconds can speed the process of drying out bread, otherwise it can be placed on a plate and left on the counter for a few hours. Bread crumbs can be purchased in a number of varieties at the supermarket.

Fresh Parmesan Cheese

	Parmesan is the term Americans use loosely for Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, a hard granular cheese named for the region in Italy that authentic cheese is produced. Parmesan also refers to cheese produced with the label Italian hard cheese that is an imitation of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Grana Padano is similar to Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
