Steppin' Up Your Cheese Game

This week’s mission: frozen diet dinners featuring fruit, and classy cheese vehicles.

One of the good things coming out of the many markets in the city is the introduction to new products and early-stage purveyors. One interesting new line of products is Evelyn’s Crackers, artisanally made organic crackers...

, such as cinnamon and peppermint. However, cinnamon doesn’t seem to go with chocolate and I was out of peppermint (Is it a good idea, by the way?). Anyway, I have never received any form of culinary training before, so I...

Hi again! I’m looking for interesting, funky, unusual ice cream/sherbet flavours. I read something online describing strawberry-tarragon, cilantro-lime, fig-rhubarb-jasmine flavours but no recipes or descriptions. These...

I’m visiting my sister in Seattle this week and she can’t eat gluten. I wanted to find some gluten free crackers to smash up and use as bread crumbs. Any suggestions?

I’m making a many-kinds-of-pudding dessert for my husband for Valentine’s Day. I’d make something more solid, but he’s getting his wisdom teeth yanked two days before, and whatever I cook has to be soft....

I made dessert bars (magic bars, to be specific), and it calls for a graham cracker crust. I’ve been using substitutes to make things healthier, such as a lower calorie substitute for the condensed milk, and I tried using...

Crackers on their own (I love them as a crust though!). I haven’t bought them in ages... is there a perfered brand you guys like to bake with? 3) Any comments on the recipe? Are there better ones out there? TIA!!!...

A second branch, the original in Clerkenwell. An amuse of kudu, a type of antelope, meaty and deep, a thin capaccio like slice, seared rim and ruby centre. Gravlax, firm but tender, comes in two flavours, cured with either dill or...

I recently received a gift basket with Krave’s Clodhoppers — chocolate-covered graham cracker bits. Amazingly addictive. I tried to go to the web site to order more, but it won’t work. Where can I buy this? I...

I sampled something like this at a grocery store, I was amazed at how the flavours came together and what a great alternative to the boring cream cheese/caper thing. And now I would like to make it for a shower, the guest of...

, with perfect lump of crabmeat, sweet and flavourful. The underlying sauce is also very good, deeply flavoured with crab, ripe tomato, herbs, garlic and chilli. Nice pieces of red chilli cut perhaps a bit coarsely, a bite is too...

• eat-thai.net aka Chaopraya (Marylebone) The prawn crackers had a nice flavour but I think they need to use hotter oil — there seemed to be a tiniest bit of bluntness. Ditto for the nest of crispy taro strips on the...

Using little bits of deep fried tempura batter in soup and other foods is actually a pretty common practise in Japan. Kind of like Japanese crackers,rather than corn flakes! It adds flavour and calories to balance out a dish, and...

cured fish or beef. Think ceviche. A meaty pate of beef is a favourite, topped with chopped peanuts, and garnished with prawn crackers. Lots of flavour, excellent seasoning. The fish version is more delicate, cut with perhaps a...
