British Cheese Cookery

Description
In partnership with Peter’s Yard petersyard.com - From cauliflower cheese to cheese straws, cheese is a much-loved ingredient in the British cookery. I talk to food writers across Britain about how they enjoy cooking with cheese, starting with the legendary Diana Henry, whose classic cookbook Roast Figs Sugar Snow has just been re-released in a beautiful new edition. Food writer Ross Clarke tells me about cheese in the Welsh kitchen – and yes, we do discuss Welsh rarebit! Scottish food writer Sue Lawrence, who came to fame when she won Masterchef in 1991, is infectiously enthusiastic on the joys of cheese scones. With their delightfully crunchy texture, Peter’s Yard sourdough crackers go very well with cheese. The crackers come in a lovely range of flavours, so you can have fun experimenting with matching them to different cheeses. With their subtle nutty sweetness, the pumpkin and sunflower seed sourdough crackers are fantastic with the full flavour of a classic, mature British Cheddar.
