July 27th is National Crème Brûlée Day! French for “burnt creme”, Crème Brûlée is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a layer of hard caramel, created by burning sugar under a grill or with a blowtorch or other intense heat source. It is usually served cold in individual ramikins.The custard base is normally flavoured with just vanilla but it can be enhanced with chocolate, a liquor or fruit etc. Sometimes the hardened sugar on top will be given a Maillard reaction, by igniting a thin layer of liqueur sprinkled over the top

Cheese from Rogue Creamery

rogue-creamery.jpg

From The Rogue Creamery’s inauspicious beginnings in 1935 has come one of the finest artisan cheese operations in the world today. In 2002, Ig (Ignazio “Ig” Vella, affectionately known as the Godfather of artisan cheese) hand selected Cary Bryant and David Gremmels as the new owners of what is now known as The Rogue Creamery. Of utmost importance was to carry on the tradition of hand-milled cheese. Bryant and Gremmels hit the ground running. Within a year, they were producing award-winning cheeses.
