Janet Fletcher, columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, was in town to promote her new book, Cheese & Wine. We invited her to the Betty Crocker Kitchens and asked her for a guided tasting of artesian cheeses. These are the ones that we tasted: * Humboldt Fog (pasteurized goat's milk) - California* Senoiro de Montelarrenia (pasteurized sheep's milk) - Spain* Pleasant Ridge Reserve (raw cow's milk) - Wisconsin* Montgomery's Cheddar (unpasteurized cow's milk) - England* Brescianellal Stagionata (pasteurized cow's milk) - Italy* Saenkanater (heat-treated cow's milk) - Holland* Bayley Hazen Blue (unpasteurized cow's milk) - Vermont Speaking of stars, the Academy Awards is on Sunday night. Here are a couple of cheesy appetizers to enjoy while you watch:Camembert with Balsamic Bell PeppersAppetizer Cracker BasketCheese Tray with Olive Rosemary SkewersJarlsberg, Onion and Apple Canapes
