Cheese Tasting: Perfect Pairings

If cheese is good, cheese and snacks are even better. In this cheese tasting, cheese expert Janet Fletcher will be pairing a lineup of extraordinary cheeses with snacks from SHED’s pantry and larder. Think honey, chutney, nuts, crackers, cured meats, panforte—if it pairs well with cheese, we’ll be trying it! Janet Fletcher is the author or co-author of more than two dozen books on food and beverage, including Cheese & Wine, Cheese & Beer, and The Cheese Course. Janet publishes the weekly Planet Cheese blog, writes a regular cheese column for Specialty Food magazine and The Somm Journal and teaches cooking and cheese-appreciation classes around the country. She is the recipient of three James Beard Awards and the IACP Bert Greene Award for her journalism. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times and numerous national magazines, including Culture, Saveur and Food & Wine. (www.janetfletcher.com)
