The fact I can wander to the market in the morning and pick up this fresh Québec sheep’s #cheese, Cabanon, fresh-picked rocket and raspberries is one of the many reasons Montreal living is tough to beat

The Cheese Cure is out 28th August! My 1st book. It’s about all things cheese, how it changed my life, and a tale of the power of taking a sabbatical. Inspiration, humour, cheesy indulgence, geeky knowledge. You can order a copy now – also e-book and audiobook (read by me!) – from the link in my bio

Today’s taster board for soft cow’s milk cheeses at our shop in East Dulwich. Great day for a fondue or raclette as well :) #cheese

It’s Evening of Cheese at Borough Market right now until 9pm. Come marvel at all the banging Christmas cheeses. Have a taste. Chat with us. See you tonight!

I think you’ll enjoy this vid😋, a Vacherin Mont d’Or made by Sancey Richard. They still hand ladle the cheeses into moulds, making a rich, gooey taste explosion. Eat it with a spoon, or warm it through in the oven. Dip some crusty bread; pour over potatoes. Pure decadence #unboxing #cheese #fromage

I managed to get some good chunks of Pecorino Romano (and took a huge bit home!), but required two hands to mine it from the half wheel with the butter knife so no vid. I feel it’s a solid high-end cooking cheese. Not a table cheese.

Excellent event held by Europe For the Senses in Shoreditch. An education on wines from Alto Adige and Etna — some of them wonderful. Had to wait for the Pecorino Romano, a magnificent half wheel but tough to access with a butter knife 😂

More unwrapping than #unboxing, this is a French wash rind #goat’s milk cheese called Barriquet. It has a semi-soft paste and a wonderful peanut-y flavour. You can’t see it so well here but there’s a cool Lord of the Ring-style drawing of a goatherd leading his goats around the base of the #cheese

Brockley Market SE4 today, me and loads of cheese

Excitement of #unboxing a crate of double cream St-Félicien cheeses for display. You can tell even without touching them how gooey they are going to be #fromage #cheese

Evening bath time for le Gruyère suisse so it can wake up in the morning looking magnificent! Bright pastes and big, caramel-buttery flavour 😋

Cheap and delicious market lunch at 1c today: a packet of Thai noodles from Raya next door to us (65p) and a slice of Raclette lait cru from France melting in the sour and spicy broth. Yummmm

Le temps froid est le meilleur pour nos #fromages, dur dur de ne pas trop en profiter 😋
