Currabinny Cooks: Recipes for your left over cheese

It is common for us and I am sure many others to stockpile a whole cheesemongers’ worth of parmesan, brie, goats’ cheeses, comtés, cheddars, camemberts, ricottas and mascarpones in the fridge over Christmas which even the most fervent cheese fiends would struggle to get through.

Although cheese generally lasts a long time, the hard ones at least, they do eventually succumb to mould and drying out until often they are thrown in the compost heap. We try our best to think of clever ways of using up all this cheese as best we can and if you are anything like us, the idea of spending January eating cheese is not such a terrible thing.
