  The Goat Cheese and Roasted Garlic Beehive on page 29 made my house smell glorious. Used a 3/12 cup capacity glass mixing bowl for the mold. Served at Supper Club on 11-14-11.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Goat cheese and roasted garlic beehive

  • TrishaCP on July 05, 2012

    This was a fun and delicious appetizer. I served a small version of the beehive (guesstimating how much goat cheese and garlic I would need) and used a lavender honey to top it off. It was pretty easy to form the mold but you definitely need to use room temp cheese.

• Cherry tomato jam for cheese

  • DKennedy on November 04, 2013

    A wonderful accompaniment to any cheese plate and makes a perfect hostess' gift.

• Baked apples with Camembert

  • DKennedy on November 04, 2013

    These are delicious

• Bresaola with Robiola di Roccaverano and white truffle oil

  • TrishaCP on March 17, 2014

    More of a concept than a recipe- I found bresaola paired beautifully with the robiola cheese- this makes a great appetizer/snack for a small group though not necessarily the prettiest. (I skipped the truffle oil since I am not a fan.)

• Savory lemon, ricotta, and pecorino fritters

  • DKennedy on November 04, 2013

    Wow, are these good!

• Chilled cucumber soup with sheep's milk fromage blanc

  • amraub on August 05, 2012

    Quick, easy, and very tasty soup. The fresh mint adds a nice touch to it.

• Roasted garlic and cauliflower soup with aged cheddar

  • TrishaCP on November 15, 2018

    This was tasty! But it definitely was better the day after cooking to allow the flavors to meld. This uses an intimidating amount of roasted garlic (or roasted garlic skins). I thought it would be an overpowering amount but it was pretty mellow. Other than roasting the garlic, the prep is simple and straightforward. It definitely needs the sharpest cheddar you can get for that cheese flavor.

• Baby lettuces with strawberries, Rocamadour, and walnut oil

  • TrishaCP on June 11, 2017

    I am a fan of adding strawberries to salads, and I'm surprised that I didn't come across this salad sooner. The strawberries and goat cheese are unsurprisingly delicious together, but the shallots in the dressing and the radishes were really needed and welcomed to pull this away from tasting like dessert. I made half the salad, but found I needed the full amount of dressing to get the lettuce dressed (and I usually go light on dressing). I subbed sherry vinegar for the verjuice and used regular young goat cheese.

• Frisée with chèvre chaud

  • amraub on November 11, 2012

    This is excellent even if you opt to just crumble the goat cheese. I'm certain it would be many times better with hot goat cheese.

• Fresh peaches with heirloom tomatoes and burrata

  • TrishaCP on August 30, 2014

    Good recipe for perfectly ripe and in season tomatoes and peaches.

  • EmilyR on September 17, 2018

    Quick and easy summer salad. The peaches are a sweet addition to a classic caprese.

  • hibeez on September 03, 2019

    This is a spectacular salad - great flavor combination. Our go-to summer salad when peach and tomato harvest collide.

• Twice-baked potatoes with Midnight Moon goat cheese

  • JoanN on May 21, 2012

    Couldn't find Midnight Moon, but it was excellent with whatever aged goat's milk cheese I picked up at Fairway.

• Pizza bianca with roasted mushrooms and Fontina

  • amraub on April 13, 2014

    Great combination of garlic, earthy mushrooms, and cheese. Made 1 pizza with own crust recipe. Next time, increase mushrooms and reduce to 2/3 or 3/4 amount of cheese. Roasted mushrooms at 425 (temp not in book).

• Melted Fromager d'Affinois and Madrange ham sandwiches

  • DKennedy on November 04, 2013

    Another fantastic recipe from this book!!!!!

• Tomato-braised meatballs with melting mozzarella

  • DKennedy on September 10, 2012

    This is a near perfect meatball recipe. My family declared these into the make again category.

• Goose-fat-fried dipping potatoes

  • DKennedy on February 24, 2012

    The baked apple stuffed with cheese is subtle but delicious.
