Quick Cheese Straws {no yeast, no egg}

amul cheese · cheddar cheese · cheese · cheese bread · cheese crisp

Prep approx. 25 straws

This is the best recipe I've ever discovered. As kids, my brother and I gorged on flaky-but-sturdy cheese straws on the streets of London. Perfectly seasoned, crispy cheese on top and toasted sesame seeds, peppery rosemary - oh my - so so divine! I adapted a recipe I found whilst scrolling Instagram and found this too good to be true. So a Saturday morning when I had three little children under my wings, I set about this recipe - and my God, it worked! It's a dleight to eat, and great to make with the kids!

Cheese on Toast

This is a classic British snack inspired recipe - a mix between Welsh rarebit and cheese on toast - which is an open faced toast with a medley of melted cheese and dash of Worcestershire sauce. i add an egg into the cheese mix to help with setting of it, to add a bit of protein and to get that quiche-y type of topping! to this mix i also add a touch of mustard (English mustard is preferred!) for that little kick.

Peach + Hot Honey Salad

Hot + spicy honey, sweet fleshy stone fruits, hard cheese, pungent basil and onions is the kind of match you see in beautiful Hollywood films. There’s a touch of romance, passion and a kind of l’amour that is best captured in good old-fashioned novels. Hot honey is a classic condiment that seems to have lost its shine over time, but I’m here to bring back it’s well deserved moment of glory. Stone fruits are my absolute favourite (Plum + Roses Brew is evidence) – as a kid, peaches were the first item on the picnic list for my Dad – mind you I don’t exactly recall the going on the picnic, but the preparations and excitement are still ingrained! Hot honey is basically honey, warmed up, brought to a boil once with a load of chilies – Thai bird chilies are my poison – or any kind of dried chili flakes works. Allow to cool, or simply drizzle over whatever you like. Hot honey goes with fresh fruits, on avocado, avocado toast (ask Kylie Jenner – she swears by adding honey and chili flakes separately over the toast), eggs, plain toast with cream cheese, French toast, khakhra, grilled cheese sandwich, bake dishes or roasts, grilled veggies… Here, what this honey does is adds the spice to the sweet and sour fruits, adds the crunch and strong bite through raw onions, fresh basil torn up and as always, a bit of cheese always does me real good. I opt for hard cheese like emmenthal or gouda, but a burratta, feta or ricotta does just as well. Its cheese, and there’s always room for it. Enjoy this beautiful love affair! I used Nature Therapy Eucalyptus Honey The Recipe Serves 1 Ingredients 2 peaches, sliced 2 plums, sliced ½ onion, sliced fresh basil sliced strong hard cheese (emmenthal or gouda) Hot Honey: ¼ cup Eucalyptus honey Eucalyptus Honey 1 tsp red chili flakes 4-5 thai bird chilies, crushed 1 tbsp water Instructions Hot Honey: Combine all the ingredients together and place on stovetop and bring to a boil Remove from heat and allow to cool down Salad: Arrange all the salad items together Drizzle 1-2 tbsp of the hot honey on top
