The type of cheese depends on the type of chocolate (dark, milk, white, or a combination). <br /><br />I have also used cheese in my desserts--mascarpone as a filling in cupcakes or cream puffs, aged cheddar in my apple pies.hecialishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323901354681091730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-60137952617958616622011-05-06T18:44:35.765-04:002011-05-06T18:44:35.765-04:00Hi, again.

(Great Minds...)<br /><br />Kate, I was thinking about having a title contest. A cheese head was not my prize idea. What is a good prize? A copy of the next book? A set of Cheese Shop Mysteries? A bookstore certificate since we're all readers? Ideas welcome.<br /><br />And to all who love fondue, I'm with you!!<br /><br />~AveryDaryl Wood Gerber a.k.a.

Oh hey, looking for a title for another cheese book, this just popped into my head, "Clubbed by Cheddar". I guess I was thinking of Club cheese crackers. Ha,ha! <br /><br />Anyhoo, your new book looks great! I am also a cheese lover fan! I buy lots of gourmet cheese for my hubby and I. I have some good stores nearby where it is pretty reasonably priced.<br /><br />As for most sensual food experience is when my hubby and I went to a fondue restaurant and ate a delicious meal! We had a to-die-for chocolate desset at the end with strawberries, marshmallows, pineapple, cake and dessert cheeses. Awesome! Amazing! <br /><br />Happy Friday to you!Michele L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15827059770508809460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-16116690538121845142011-05-06T18:01:00.609-04:002011-05-06T18:01:00.609-04:00Ms. Campbell and Janga, aren't Avery's tit...Ms. Campbell and Janga, aren't Avery's titles the best?

However, I'm totally drooling at the rest. :D <br /><br />Appetizers vs. dessert? Yes to both! As for dining in vs. dining out, I like a good balance of both. The most sensual meal I can recall is the time I went to a fondue restaurant called Fonduementale on a trip to Montréal. The restaurant was very cozy and romantic with very dim lighting and lots of candles(unfortunately, I was only there with friends...heh) and we had a drool-worthy meal comprised of a cheese fondue followed by a meat fondue and then a chocolate fondue. And our waiter was really really hot! :DPissenlithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15652379987538733088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-50292363363436752102011-05-06T16:02:00.914-04:002011-05-06T16:02:00.914-04:00Desserts.
