Cheese

1/7/2018

My French friends are amused that we sometimes ask people to say “Cheese” when taking their photograph. “Fromage” wouldn’t make them smile! 

I expect that many of you have cheese in your fridge. I do because it makes a quick snack and is the basis for many delicious dishes and sauces. Vegetarians aren’t  excluded because there is a rennet-free version and vegans have coconut or soya “cheese”. 

Perhaps you finish a meal with cheese? In France, it always comes  before the dessert. I remember one evening on a roof terrace in the south of France when the hostess served  a savoury cheesecake instead. You may be wondering  how the food arrived on the roof, there was a lift from the flat below.

If you would like to try this dish, it’s easy enough for children to enjoy making until it’s ready for the oven. 
  1. To 125g  of oatcakes and 75g of digestive biscuits add about 25g shelled walnuts and crush them all finely.
  2. Use this mixture to line a buttered loose bottomed cake tin and chill thoroughly. Meanwhile heat your oven to 150° or Gas mark 2. 
  3. To make the filling, beat together several tubs of cream cheese, 4 beaten eggs and chopped chives. No salt needed but you could add pepper or garlic if that is to your taste. 
  4. Bake for about an hour, but keep a watch and remove when set. Leave to cool in the tin.

Did you know that Bristol has a Cheese Fest every December?

Did you watch the Cheese Roll competition in Gloucester? I didn’t as there are so many injuries! I switched off the television, poured out some wine, cut some Brie and had a Cheese and Wine party!
