Farm house cheese and a trip to RTE Cork studios

In conjunction with Bord Bia I popped along to RTE studios to cook on the Today show with Dáithí Ó Sé and Maura Derrane, the theme was farmhouse cheese as Bord bia are running a campaign to make people more aware of  such cheeses and promoting the stories behind them for more info www.discoverfarmhousecheese.ie

I choose my home town cheese Carrigaline with Dillisk and Cooleeny camambert to go in to my dish of Ballyhoura mushroom pots a quick easy dish to do to see how I do it skip ahead to 43 minutes

Cheeses freeze well so if you have to much portion them down cling film and freeze them also soft cheese like cooleeny when frozen you can shave of shavings into salads
