Fromage Friday: Constant Bliss Review

January 15, 2010

When I told you I’d be eating healthier I promised that there would still be talk of cheese around these parts, and I never go back on a promise. I really wanted this week’s cheese to be another new discovery, but alas my cravings led me to an old favorite instead: Constant Bliss from Jasper [...]

Fromage Friday: Bethmale Review

December 25, 2009

Merry Christmas everyone.  Even though the holidays are upon us I still wanted to share with you a great cheese.  This week’s cheese is Bethmale, a raw cow’s milk cheese from the Midi-Pyrenees, a mountainous region south of Toulouse, France  near the Spanish border.  It’s a semi-hard cheese with a lovely washed rind that surrounds [...]

Fromage Friday: Di Stefano Burrata Alla Panna Review

December 18, 2009

This week’s cheese is Di Stefano Burrata Alla Panna.  Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream.  Staring back at me from the Whole Foods cheese case, this cheese looked like a present wrapped in green ribbon, which seemed to resemble banana leaves.  It wasn’t what I came in for, but having [...]

Fromage Friday: Link Love

December 11, 2009

Now that class is over I’m getting back to my one true love  - cheese.  I’ve not been able to keep my beloved Fromage Fridays feature as frequent as I would have liked for the past few months due to all the obligations I took on, but now that things have mellowed out I’m coming [...]

Chocolate-Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Whipped Chevre Filling

November 13, 2009

It’s been a long time (too long) since I posted my last Fromage Fridays entry, since the end of August in fact.  Fret not, I’m just as in love with cheese as ever, life has just gotten in the way of me exploring it as much as I would like.  When I saw the Chavrie [...]

Fromage Friday: Deep Chocolate Brownies with Chevre Swirls

August 28, 2009

Since I returned from Vermont I’ve been a bit obsessed with the idea of including artisan cheeses in chocolate sweets.  Thoughts of chocolate whoopie pies with chevre filling, gorgonzola butter cream, chevre truffles, and of course dark chocolate chevre brownies have been distracting me from work and other more productive aspects of my life.
I decided [...]

Fromage Friday: Mac & Cheese Contest

August 7, 2009

Okay I will admit it.  This post is a TOTAL cop out.  I was planning on writing something wonderfully researched (I have a long list of topics I want to cover at some point) but it seems like life conspired to get in the way.  Between a leaky AC unit, cleaning, and working on my [...]

Fromage Friday: Vermont Cheesemakers Festival Preview

July 31, 2009

Like a lot of people my finances are a little tight this year so I’ve had to forgo a big vacation (although going to visit my parents was a nice getaway).  Because of this I’ve been cherishing the day trips I’ve been taking with boyfriend and my girlfriends.  Thankfully there are so many interesting attractions [...]

Fromage Friday: Pairing Cheese and Wine

July 24, 2009

Today my parents, sister and I went for a wine tasting at Alexis Bailly Vineyard in Hastings, Minnesota.  I went with my boyfriend last year when in Minnesota for my cousin’s wedding.  (You can read about it here.)  I had such a good time that I returned to Boston with two bottles of wine and [...]
