Here's your chance at something fun! The famous Murray's Cheese Shop in the West Village is hosting a great event, featuring a new cookbook called Dishing Up Vermont by Tracey Medeiros. Whenever I think of Vermont (and it's been in my thoughts recently, given that I was just there last weekend), I think of wholesome, natural food made of quality ingredients, using sustainable methods. Tracey's cookbook features that and more, giving much needed kudos to Vermont's farmers, chefs and food producers who practice sustainability.
You'll be able to meet Tracey at the event, get her to sign your book and chat her up about what tickles your tastebuds. Below are the deets about the event, which includes a glass of wine as well as a tasting of one of her recipes.

While a part of me feels that I should name a unique cheese, my love of Italian Cooking demands that I name Parmeseano-Reggiano.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Favorite cheese...hmm, so many to choose from... i can never pass up an aged gouda!
ReplyDeleteHi, my favorite cheese are hard, sharp cheeses, like a well-aged Gouda. Murrays has a cheese similar to that called "Roomano" which I really like!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore Pecorino Tartufello. It's the most amazing cheese!
ReplyDeleteI am perpetually in love with a cheese called Coolea, a cow's milk cheese from Ireland. It's like eating a rich, buttery cheddar, with those awesome little crystals here and there. It's seriously delicious. I got it at the Bedford Cheese Shop last time.
ReplyDeleteI love all types of cheese! From cheddar, fresh mozzerella, feta etc.! At this time my favorite cheese is brie cheese. I love the buttery taste from it!
ReplyDeleteDubliner Irish Cheddar. mmmmmm. Sharp, sweet; it's basically crack.
ReplyDeleteI once drove all the way to Montreal just to eat and buy goat cheeses. There was one that had an edge as sharp as the sound of chalk scratching a blackboard, but which tasted like butter. I didn't note the name and have never had it again. Bobolink at the USQ Greenmarket has a cheese from the end of the growing season called "last chance" with a real edge to it, too.
ReplyDeleteright now it's gruyere
ReplyDeleteI like morbier
ReplyDeleteGoat cheese!
ReplyDeleteBrie!

ReplyDeleteTie: I'm originally from DC, and when I feel homesick for Cowgirl Creamery, I crave their award-winning Red Hawk. But lately I've been super satisfied with all of the feta varieties available in Astoria, where I live now.
ReplyDeleteRunny, stinky, amazing Gorgonzola is always my favorite. Second runner up is the imported Parmesan I get from Sorrisos.
ReplyDeletemy favorite cheese is goat cheese!!! but i really love most cheeses, especially cheddar and brie!
ReplyDeleteToss up between Feta and Goat Cheese!
ReplyDeletedefinitely sharp cheddar cheese, preferably organic!
