Raclette

This dish was concocted by

cow herders way back in 13th

century Switzerland. Dunk

boiled potatoes into a wheel

of heated, oozing Swiss cheese

(also called Raclette) and serve

with cured meats and pickles.

Oh baby!

Baked brie

Preheat your oven to 200°C

(180°C fan-forced). Cut the brie

horizontally across the top of

the wheel, removing the top

rind. Place garlic and rosemary

inside, and place rind back on

top. Bake for 15 minutes and

dip with water crackers.

Mac and cheese

The ultimate American comfort

food has stepped out of the

packet and onto the menus at

plenty of hipster restaurants.

For a quick, crazy-basic three-

ingredient recipe, cook two

cups of macaroni in four cups

of full-cream milk, then stir in

two cups of grated cheese.

BECAUSE,

CHEESE

It’s not just our wardrobes throwing

back to the disco-ball decade but

our kitchens, too. Introducing fi ve

delicious ways with cheese, courtesy

of the flower-power era

Cheese fondue

This is heaven on a stick! Simply

melt some cheese (usually a blend

of two cheeses such as gruyère and

cheddar with wine, herbs and garlic

added) and serve in a communal

pot. Grab yourself a skewer, put

some bread on the end and dip

away to your heart’s content.

Cheese makes

everything in life

better. Fact.

Cheese and

pineapple hedgehog

Say whaaat? These were the

table centrepiece at every party

in the ’70s. Halve a rockmelon

and place fl at-side-down, cut

cheddar cheese and pineapple

into cubes, thread onto cocktail

sticks and push into the melon.
