Ingredient notes: Taleggio cheese

Focaccia con taleggio e rosmarino
Originally uploaded by mava

One of THE most fabulous soft Italian cheeses you will ever taste. So delicious cubed and melted into soft polenta, or just to eat on a cheese platter. Another great Jamie Oliver recipe uses Taleggio in potato & leek soup. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/jamie-at-telegraph/6501230/Jamie-Oliver-recipe-Leek-and-potato-soup-with-taleggio.html

Available at Caesars: olive oil, chicken stock, taleggio, sea salt & ciabatta. Also fantastic used in any recipe requiring cheese for melting, such as risotto, pizza, focaccia (pictured)

Ingredient notes: Polenta

It's starting to be perfect weather for polenta, one of my favourites! A typically Northern Italian cornmeal used as a carbohydrate base for meals, especially roasts and slow cooked meat dishes with lots of pan juices. Try this Jamie Oliver recipe http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/meat-recipes/incredible-game-birds-with-polenta . You can find the polenta, spatchcock, quail, grated parmesan, good quality olive oil & seasalt in store.
