Darina Allen: Utilising cheeses in your recipes

I’VE recently been given a copy of Counter Culture, the Sheridan’s Guide to Cheese.

I simply can’t put it down. What a gorgeous book, for me a romp down memory lane.

A long overdue overview of the Irish farmhouse cheese industry, an appreciation of the charismatic, passionate and often deliciously eccentric people who have devoted their lives to producing beautiful cheeses from the milk of their dairy herds.
