Gift-Giving Out of the Box: Cheese
added 10/23/09
Give a personally made sampler of your favorite cheeses. Add instructions to bring them to room temperature before serving, and dress up the package with an accompaniment such as cranberry compote, caramelized walnuts, cider jelly, cider mustard, heirloom tomatoes, or pickled beets. French bread or simple crackers on which to put the cheese, plus a bottle of wine, complete the ultimate package that anyone would want to receive. Add a Cheese Journal and you have the perfect personal gift!
