What to do with leftover cheese
To raise awareness of Food Waste Action Week (7-13 March), I wanted to suggest a few different ways to use up leftover cheese and other ingredients too.
Sweet dreams are made of cheese
Recipes
Baked ricotta and aubergine with spicy tomato sauce and pangritata
A comforting midweek meal showcasing the best of homemade ricotta.
Homemade ricotta
My first homemade cheese post focuses on a true Italian classic, ricotta. Equally as good in sweet dishes as it is in savoury ones and a great cheese to try and make at home.
Winter salad with Lypiatt cheese
A simple yet delicious winter warmer. This salad delivers all the comforting tastes of the season but in a much lighter dish.
Cheesy mash with cabbage and bacon
This recipe is based on the classic French dish Pommes Aligot, which makes the best use of British floury potatoes. It’s like a thicker, potato-based fondue or quite possibly the best mashed potatoes you’ve ever had.
Three of the best cheese canapés
Looking for some crowd-pleasing festive bites to delight your family and friends? Why not have a go at one of these easy cheesy canapés? They’re super simple to make and can be prepped in advance, giving you more quality time to spend with your dinner guests.
Beef, Stilton and ale pie
At this time of the year, when the nights are drawing in, it’s always comforting food that you seem to crave and for Queen Brie, nothing says comfort like a hearty pie.
Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes
A quick and simple no-bake cheesecake with the delicious malty and caramel notes of Lotus Biscoff, a Belgian biscuit that goes great with coffee.
Marinated feta
If you’re looking for a way to add even more flavour into your cheese and impress your friends with something a bit different on the cheeseboard, then you can’t go wrong with a jar of delicious marinated feta.
Crab, leek and cheese tartlets
There’s a bit of a stigma about putting cheese and seafood together. However when it’s done well it can make for a really successful pairing, like this recipe shows.
