Five ways with cheese

Smile, it's National Cheese Month! I know these things (National Donut Day, anyone?) are spurious at best, but if the New Zealand Specialist Cheesemakers Association wants us to dedicate October to the noble activity of eating cheese, I'm not about to argue.

Instead, I humbly offer you five of my favourite cheesy recipes...


 Secret cheese and onion bread - soft, white, pillowy dough, with a molten cheese middle. Blissful.


Roasted cauliflower cheese - exactly what it says, but with spices (and optional potatoes, or greens, or both).


Jenny's cheesy potatoes - an absolute Corry family classic (no one can make them like Jenny can, but with practice, you can nearly reach cheese and potato nirvana).


Bermuda salad - a Moosewood Cookbook number, in which cheese plays an important but not overpowering role. I was dubious too, but it's very good.


Sara Lee cheesecake - looks just like a bought one, tastes a million times better (and is about as easy to make as pulling one out of a packet).

What's your favourite thing to do with cheese?

    Love the cheesey potato recipe, will make happy bellies in my household. My go to cheese recipe is cheese scones- easy, quick and pretty fail-safe. http://lifeandcheese.com/2012/06/17/scones-ministry-of-food-style/

      I wish I hadn't just read this, now I have an insatiable craving for cheese scones! Thanks for that recipe, it looks like a winner (anything that avoids rubbing in butter is a good thing, in my book).

    That cheesecake is superb - I would have not to be able to eat cheese! Cheers from a fellow Kiwi - Carole's Chatter

    Happy cheese month - these all look great though my eyes light up at the gorgeous colours of the moosewood salad (I love a moosewood salad and haven't tried this one). I am also very tempted by your sara lee cheesecake - it is just the right weather for it

Hello - thanks for stopping by. If this was real life I'd make you a cup of tea and open the biscuit tin, but in lieu of those things, let's have a chat anyway...
