Beautiful maroon-hued figs and a spiced honeylike sauce are an intriguing pair. Vanilla ice cream or a semi-firm sheep's cheese would also be ideal partners instead of the mascarpone mixture.
Flecked with bits of red pepper, pale cheese and green parsley, this salad is appealing and intriguing. Wheat berries are either soft or hard: soft take 15 minutes less than the hard to cook.
This bright and flavourful sauce is full of vegetables that retain some of their tender-crisp texture, even after slow cooking. Serve with short pasta, such as penne, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Grilling the vegetables before baking gives them a subtle smokiness that makes this casserole special. For extraordinary results, use fresh mozzarella (the kind stored in water at Italian delicatessens and cheese shops).
Decadent pancakes are a special treat for any breakfast, brunch or dessert. Mascarpone cheese and cherry syrup add a touch of elegance to this otherwise humble family favourite. Top with shaved chocolate if desired.
We are movie buffs, and every Oscar night we have a few friends over for cocktails and snacks. Everyone loves this hot cheese dip, which we serve with small cooked new potatoes, crudit?and pita wedges.
Flaky phyllo pastry transforms these eggs into a gourmet version of toad in the hole. To switch things up, try a different cheese, or substitute chopped pancetta or smoked salmon for the sun-dried tomatoes.
It's hard to believe this rich and smooth soup has no cream in it. For a completely dairy-free version, replace the butter with olive oil and omit the cheese from the croutons.
Cheese isn't a typical sausage filling, but here it adds a creamy tang that's addictive. Be sure to work with a partner and use medium-width pork sausage casings -- lamb casings are too narrow.
