Filo is a paper-thin pastry of Greek origin, similar to other pastries used throughout the eastern Mediterranean. It is available in the freezer section of many well-stocked food stores and in Greek and Middle Eastern markets. Most 1-lb. boxes contain about 20 sheets, each one measuring 14 by 18 inches. For best results, let the pastry thaw very slowly, in the refrigerator if time allows. When working with filo, be sure to keep the unused sheets covered with a barely damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out and becoming brittle.

An antipasto platter is a quick, easy, and attractive way to feed a group, because most of the elements—cured meats, cheese, olives, breadsticks—are store-bought. To add a special touch, though, most Italians personalize the spread by including something homemade, like spiced nuts, marinated olives, or a sweet-savory fruit condiment known as mostarda. In Italy it's common to make condiments like this in large batches and preserve them for a longer shelf life, but even in the fridge, the tangy, spicy blend of dried fruit and mustard lasts for a month or so. It's fantastic with roast pork or even on yogurt. Spread the mostarda on crostini or a ham and Brie sandwich; its sharp Ô¨Çavor cuts through the fattiness.
