CHEESE TO CHERISH

With Leslie Back

The allure of cheese knows no boundaries. Whether dense, robust, strong and down to earth, creamy, delicate as a breeze, richly delicious or patrician and elegant. Cheese is a heavenly food to be cosseted, debated and deeply appreciated for the marvel it is and the intense pleasure it gives.

HONEYMOONS

AUTUMN IDYLL AT THE PALACE

Serene, joyous, supremely carefree days. Spend them together beside the sea, waterski on azure waters, canter along the beach, take wonderful walks deep in the forest, sip a glass of red wine warmed by the fire. Honeymoon forever.  

SEE! HONEYMOONS

Bold, colourful tastes and flavours of a honeymoon table.

Enjoy Pumpkin Tagine, Butternut Lasagna, Stuffed Quails, Savarins, Strawberry Cheesecake and delectable Honeymoon Lemon Cake. 

MILLION DOLLAR CHEESECAKE

Showcook shows off five of the best!

Cheesecake is one of those cakes that can earn the maker a reputation as a baker supreme! There are few other cakes that cause so much chatter. "What is that secret ingredient, is it a hint of orange or is it lemon? I detect a scent of vanilla! What chocolate are you using, is it dark and intense or light and sweet?"
