  1. I nearly always use wine when cooking...and it certainly doesn't go in the food! ;)

  2. I agree but I have a recipe which for me takes it up a level
    I have followed a keto diet for the last 10 months (lost 3 1/2 stone)
    The cheese sauce in the Keto recipe is made by combining a pot of double cream a tub of Mascarpone and a handful of grated cheddar. No good for you if you are not on a fat burning diet though
    I have another stone to go then I will revert back to a more normal diet

  3. Good on ya Higgy. I also do the keto from time to time...maybe for only 3 months at a time as I'm only 75kg on average... It does an amazing reset, I find even after you stop if you are just "steady" with your food (a bit of everything) you don't put the weight back on. And also it seems to be a great reset for the head too... ;)
     
  4. :eek: Oh good lord that does sound lush but is way too much dairy for me. I can't remember the last time I had cream with anything.

    For the sauce good old cheddar & grated red leicester for the topping. It's the best cheese for grilling imo.
     
  5. In Hertfordshire there is a wonderful road & a fabulous Cheese Shop.
    Simply follow the A507 from Baldock to Buntingford.
    In Buntingford there is a cheese shop ...

  12. I’ve enjoyed some fantastic cheeses over the years. Next door to the Mercure hotel in Alencon is the restaurant L'alezan, I think it was a Michelin star, but changed chef/hands and was trying hard to regain the accolade. We have eaten there a number of times and the cheese trolley is out of this world.

    It’s not too far from the ferry.
