Cheddar Gorged

A modern cookbook that gorges on Cheddar cheese is long overdue. And so, in Cheddar Gorged, Sean Wilson swaps the tired staples of cheesy chips and nachos for contemporary dishes with the nation’s favourite cheese, from Welsh rarebit, to Mexican burritos, to Napoli paradiso pizzas. Inspired by the French culture and passion for good food, for conversation and laughter around the dinner table, Sean fuses the nation’s favourite cheese with dishes from around the world. Some of the 60 delicious recipes are quick and easy to rustle up, others are for the more adventurous home cook, but all are achievable when you know how to source great Cheddar. With years of experience as an award-winning cheesemaker and international judge, Sean shows you how to choose the right Cheddar, from the everyday block in the fridge to those special Cheddars made from a thousand years of history. He shares with you the joyous smell of a pie baking in the oven, the satisfaction of a Cheddar and fennel loaf rising in the kitchen, and the pleasure in preparing a snack, a meal, or a dish to delight friends and family. With tasty recipes that reduce food waste and make the most of your leftovers, Sean also looks to the environmental impact of the cheese industry and its quest to improve its ecological footprint for a sustainable future. Beautifully produced in hardback, featuring outstanding photography by the author himself, this is a truly personal, passionate collection.
