≫ April’s Cheese, Please! Recipe Blog Challenge

It was always going to be hard to follow March’s home-made cheese spectacular. I thought about taking advantage of today’s date and asking fellow bloggers to perhaps milk a pet for cheese-making purposes or cook up a dish specifically with Casu Marzu (more popularly known as Sardinian Maggot’s Cheese). But in the end I decided to plump for something more inclusive – because everyone loves blue cheese, right?

Lovely, lovely blue cheese. Whether it’s a subtle number, faintly streaked like carrara marble or a full-on peacock’s tail of a cheese, flamboyant with blues and greens and nasty bits of red, I will happily gobble it down. It works with everything from soup to salads, breads to buns, and chocolate to chips (okay, I may have made the chips bit up for the sake of alliteration). So, fellow bloggers, pick yourself a blue cheese and fly with it.

Apologies to Food Day-Dreaming and any other blue cheese-haters. You knew this day would come. Think of it as your opportunity to start with a gateway blue – a creamy Cambozola or an oozy Cotehill Blue, perhaps a Gorgonzola Dolce. Go on, I promise you, you won’t regret it and before you know it you’ll be seeking out the salty hit of a Lanark Blue or a Roquefort.

Alas, there’s no prize this month because ~~I’m too stingy and disorganised~~ I couldn’t bear having to choose between all the recipes. But as ever I hope you’ll all rise to the challenge with some amazing creations.
