that can be made in an infinite number of ways.
French Brie Cheese is wrapped in puff pastry and baked until
it has thoroughly melted inside can be combined with jams,
jellies, nuts, liquors or even savory components like mushrooms
and onions.
Gourmet Cheese Tasting Parties
Introduce your friends to a variety of international cheeses
they have never tried before.
Prepare about a 1/4 lb. of cheese per person and an assortment
of crackers and fruit slices. Include a balance of strong, mild
and smoked cheeses with different textures from crumbly Blue
Cheese and Feta to smooth triple cream cheeses and savory
sliceable Gouda. Don't use heavily butter flavored crackers like
Captain's Wafers as they dominate in flavor of the cheese.

Ever Try Making Quick Pickles?
If you love cucumbers in any form, make quick pickles the
next time your local farmers' market has a bumper crop.
Japanese pickles or tsukemono can be bought readily in
any large supermarket, but it is much more fun to make your own
quick pickles at home.
