A girl doesn't turn down cheese does she? The answer is most definitely no....especially for a girl that would rather nibble on cheese than chocolate.

JustCheese.co.uk, an online artisan cheese retailer, contacted me to see if I would like to sample some cheeses from one of their festive selection boxes called 'The Dinner Party' (£37.95). It arrived this morning by courier and contained the following;

Berkswell, a hard nutty sheep's cheese 

Brie de Meaux

Dorset Blue Vinny, an unpasturised blue cheese 

Montgomery’s cheddar

A.O.C Comte which is rich and slightly sweet 

(The Dinner Party box also contains Brillat-Savarin, made from full fat cows milk with added cream).

Each cheese is accompanied by a 'business card', containing details of the cheeses origin and flavour - useful if you are going to include them on your Christmas cheeseboard as you can impress your guests with your fantastic cheese knowledge!

Of course I will be enjoying the cheeses as they are, but I also want to use them in some recipes..... here is what I plan to make;

• Creamy Brie, Smoked Bacon and Petit Pois Penne
• Dorset Blue Vinney, Pear and Walnut Pizza
• Chorizo, Roasted Red Pepper and Berkswell Frittata
• Cauliflower Cheese Gratin with the Montgomery Cheddar and Comte

Keep your eyes peeled for the recipes coming soon.
