Cheese Please







Cheese is one of life’s greatest pleasures. It’s a sophisticated and timeless addition to any meal and also makes an exquisite meal served simply on its own.

Jazz up your delicious cheese platter with a selection of crackers, crusty bread, dried fruits, capers, smoked trout or salmon, the perfect accompaniment to a glass of wine.

Soft white cheese is one of the most desirable and indulgent of the cheese family. This soft, white and runny cheese is delicious served simply with a crusty French baguette.
When travelling through Europe I wore the nickname baguetti legs! As most of you who have travelled know full well that your wallet becomes increasingly lighter and lighter very quickly when on an Aussie budget in Europe. Our immediate reaction to the dwindling funds seemed like such a brilliant idea. Moving to a diet of fresh baguettes for breakfast and lunch served with either raspberry jam or beautiful soft white gooey cheese when we wanted to be a little more extravagant was too good to be true. That was until we'd gone through both Spain and France on the same diet... Hence the nickname! My legs have since recovered from the indulgent trip to Europe but my passion for good cheese and breads continues to grow. Just not eaten every day, perhaps.

Anyone can do extravagance in their own backyard like we did and on a budget. Keep it super-simple with a few key quality ingredients & you too could be sitting cosily in a petite Paris garden as we did eating baguettes and cheese whilst listening to French musicians play.

More Cheese Please!
