Mr Slater discusses which cheese suits which bread. Interesting reading.
The first recipe is Fig and hazelnut loaf for cheese ( Mr Slater says goats cheese is its best accompaniment ).
Apparently this bread freezes well so I go ahead and make two loaves, one for now and one to freeze. The bread was quite easy to make although it was difficult to get all the figs and nuts into the dough, seemed to have far too many.
This bread was delicious, moist and full of flavour - a great success and the second loaf didn't make it to the freezer!!
The second recipe today is Poached quinces with goats cheese.
Obtaining the quince was difficult, not to be had locally anywhere, however my step-daughter Sarah was out and about in Ilkley and managed to get me some. I have never eaten quince before - only in jelly form. Looking them up on the Internet I found that they are only edible when cooked and have a pear like appearance. And apparently were actually the fruit Eve tempted Adam with.
Quinces poached and baked I serve them with slices of goats cheese. Not appreciated by my daughter who thought the cheese would be better with crackers, and the quince with cream! My husband thought the whole dish too sweet. I didn't care for it at all.
