Cheese is one of my favorite foods, from mac and cheese to a plate with a variety of fun cheeses and crackers. I love it all!

GRATEFULL for cheese plates!

A family favorite at the holidays are the Stuffed Mushrooms from "Mastering the Art of French Cooking". Plenty of cheese to be grateful for.

Be it game nights, parties or potlucks, nothing brings everyone together like the the savory goodness of a Charcuterie and Cheese Board.

It is quick to put together and has a good mix of flavors and textures to meet every guests palate.

For me, these boards are the perfect way to entertain and they have always helped me Cheese ( oops Seize) the day :)

Theme - GrateFULL

Parts of northern California, if it was overrun with cheese. I will add color later.

I´m a huge cheese lover and also love to travel so this illustration unite my two passions. This is only a small selection of the amazing variety of Swiss cheeses.

Very similar to feta but slightly drier which makes it perfect for grating. It's so ubiquitous in Bulgarian cuisine that it's basically the default word for cheese.

This magical sandwich is made with thinly sliced sourdough and classic nippy, take-the-enamel-off-your-teeth, oooold cheddar. Heat pan (cast iron, pref). Slather one side of each slice of bread generously with butta. When pan is lookin sizzly, go ahead and listen while you lay the first slice of bread butta side down. Hear that heavenly sssssssszzzzzz. Mound the bread high with grated old friend, cheddar. Squish second piece of bread over top (butter side facing your drooling self). Let the cheese ooooooze over the sides. Once it starts to smell toastie and buttery, flip it with attitude. Then, repeat on other side. Now, magic. Take your perfectly toasted toastie off the pan. Then, lump a pile more (yes you read that right) cheddar into the middle of the pan. Let 'er get melty. Once you've got a satisfyingly gooey cheese island in centre of pan, delicately place your toasty on top of it. Then, carefully....carefully....slide your flipper under the whole glorious mess. Lift slowly, steadily. Wait a moment for the elegant strands of cheese to stiffen a bit to make a beautiful, crunchy, crackly CROWN OF CHEESE. A delight for kiddos and adultos alike :) big shout out to Salli and Nate for allowing use of their awesome bacon font. Cheesily yours, jo.

I was born in Venezuela and like all the Caribbean countries we have colorful markets full of fruits and smells and impressions. I want to show how these colors stayed in my mind and how the beauty of a papaya, grenada or pineapple can bring your taste buds to sprinke.

(My submission for the GrateFULL Theme.)

Whenever I have something big to celebrate, I like to do so with cheese in the most straight-up fashion: its pure, solid form, or melted into gooey deliciousness to dip my bread in.

The GRATEst cheese in the world
