The Cheeselover: A memory of Daphne Zepos
http://thecheeselover.blogspot.com/2012/07/memory-of-daphne-zepos.html
Wednesday, July 4, 2012. A memory of Daphne Zepos. I was shocked and saddened to read today of the untimely death of Daphne Zepos, founder of the Essex Street Cheese Company and a leading light in the US cheese community. I spent a brilliant day with her in New York a couple of years ago when she showed me round New York's best cheese shops including the Bedford Cheese Shop, Stinky Bklyn and Saxelby's Cheese and generously shared her knowledge of the American artisanal cheese scene. This blog has moved!

The Cheeselover: Capra Nouveau
http://thecheeselover.blogspot.com/2012/04/capra-nouveau.html
Friday, April 20, 2012. I've got a bit behindhand with my cheese posts - this was one I tasted about a month ago at my local deli, Chandos. It's a washed rind goats cheese from a Shropshire producer called Brock Hall Farm. The surface looks almost as if it has been knitted and the interior is seductively yielding - a bit like a Vacherin. It's quite assertive and fruity in flavour, but not strong and not at all 'goaty'. If I hadn't been told I'd have said it was a cows' cheese. This blog has moved!

The Cheeselover: A perfect cheese trolley
http://thecheeselover.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-perfect-cheese-trolley.html
Sunday, August 19, 2012. A perfect cheese trolley. Cheese trolleys, as I've discovered from previous exchanges, divide cheese lovers. There are those who think no restaurant worth its salt offers anything less than 30 cheeses and others of us (betraying my own preferences) that reckon there's no way most restaurants can keep even 20 in good condition. But Le Pot d'Etain. I've ever eaten (matured by Fromagerie Berthaut. I guess the locals love their cheese so there's no problem with sad cheeses left linge...

The Cheeselover: Pomi-fritti fromage Corse
http://thecheeselover.blogspot.com/2012/07/pomi-fritti-fromage-corse.html
Sunday, July 1, 2012. Apologies, first of all for the unannounced absence from the blog. I've been devoting my energies to the relaunch of my website Matching Food and Wine. And to tell the truth haven't come across much in the way of cheese to report on lately. But this is the mother of all melted cheese experiences! It was in the unlikely venue of a Corsican wine bar and restaurant in Bordeaux called A Cantina. Including a dish, pomi-fritti fromage Corse, with chips and. The restaurant also offered a d...

The Cheeselover: How far should you let a Brie go?
http://thecheeselover.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-far-should-you-let-brie-go.html
Sunday, April 15, 2012. How far should you let a Brie go? Here is a picture of a practically perfect Brie. IMHO although some people might argue it had been allowed to mature too far. It was served as part of a food and wine tasting I conducted at the cookery school Leiths. All you need is a hunk of crisp, freshly baked baguette to slather it on. And maybe a few grapes. The perfect lunch . . . But should you let it go this far if you value the wine you're drinking with it? What do you reckon? Have found ...

The Cheeselover: September 2012
http://thecheeselover.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 2, 2012. Why can't we have cheese bars in Britain? It was, of course, inevitable that New Yorkers would do it first but I have to say I'm insane with envy about Murray's new Cheese Bar. Even after reading this review. In Serious Eats which picks a few holes in the experience. Plenty of people, I argue. Cheese is expensive, there's not enough profit in it. ( Then serve high-margin drinks . . . Who devised the pairings at Casellula has been poached by Murray's. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Cheeselover: January 2012
http://thecheeselover.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 17, 2012. If you asked the proverbial man in the street which countries make the best cheese I’m sure Switzerland would be in their top three which makes it ironic that, Gruyère apart, we get hardly any Swiss cheese of note in the UK. So it’s good to find a food writer colleague of mine Sue Style has written a really excellent book on the lesser known artisanal Swiss cheeses, called Cheese: Slices of Swiss Culture. And a Mont Vully Classique. And the Sbrinz route. Sue is also an accompli...
