  • Gouda cheese comes from Holland; it's actually the country's most famous exported cheese. Gouda's mild, nutlike flavor and rich, creamy texture make it a classic melting cheese.
  • When sliced and fanned over seasoned noodles or rice, the presentation of this fabulous chicken dish is absolutely elegant.
