I love cheese. I am the girl who orders the cheese plate and not the sticky toffee pudding. Actually, sometimes I just steal Mr Bell’s sticky toffee pud and order the cheese. I am the girl who drives to Long Clawson to queue in the cold and buy half a Stilton every Christmas. I am the girl who browses cheese producer’s websites to tease myself. I am the girl who has in her freezer at the very least three different types of cheese, just in case there were a cheese emergency. I’m an addict. So much so that I used to regularly eat cheese for dinner with crackers and chilli chutney on the side. Then I got married and my husband educated me that this was not a fitting dinner for a grown up. So now I just try to pop cheese into every meal instead.

Two-starred Michelin chef Nathan Outlaw is a big fan of Davidstow cheese and on the 26th March 2012 he is holding a masterclass at L’atelier des Chefs cookery school in central London. Davidstow Cornish Cheddar is offering one lucky reader and their friend the chance to attend this very exclusive event. The class is hands-on and the lovely Nathan will teach you to create simple, tasty dishes with Davidstow. For those of you in the know, Davidstow’s cheeses are typically matured for longer than other cheddars, producing a more complex flavour and creamy texture – perfect for cooking or just eating with crackers (and chilli chutney if you’re me) and a nice glass of wine.

All you have to do is tell me in a comment on this post what your favourite recipe is that uses cheese. You should also note that travel is not included as part of the prize and that the winners must be available on 26th March 2012 10.00am – 2pm.
