Leicester is also known as 'Red Leicester'. It is made similarly to cheddar cheese, although the result ends up somewhat crumblier. The cheese traditionally had annatto extract added to the milk to produce its distinctive orange hue, hence the name Red Leicester was born. The mellow, creamy, sweet flavour of this cheese at a young age (12 weeks) becomes stronger and stronger as it matures. It is a versatile cheese, which melts beautifully and brings a nice colour to any cheese platter or…

There is a particular bolstering comfort you get from the cosy familiarity of cauliflower blanketed in cheese sauce and blistered in the oven. I must tell you that this brilliant way of preparing the cauliflower so that it both retains bite and stops the sauce becoming watery or grainy is pinched from Nick Jones (of Soho House fame), as is his smell-reducing use of bay leaves.

two white plates topped with food next to a pan

This might seem odd to Italians but it works beautifully: the starchy rice, the sharp Cheddar, both are the perfect counterpoint for each other.

Potato gratins are a classic side dish and a definite crowd-pleaser. The red Leicester in this version gives these a sharp flavour and brilliant orange colour, a great contrast against other green veg.

It's pretty good being a foodie in Midlands. From countryside farm shops to the vibrant cities, there are so many amazing flavours to whet your appetite. Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire is the home of the pork pie, you can find Colston Bassett Stilton in Nottinghamshire and Bakewell tarts in Derbyshire's Peak District. From beers in Burton-on-Trent to baltis in Birmingham, there's a lot to be said about the food and drink around these parts. So when Haven asked me to share a local delicacy…

Do you have a craving for an easy grilled cheese? Then let me introduce you to microwave grilled cheese. It is simple, it is delicious, and it is fast. You will love how easy it is to adapt to your tastes. Swap mayonnaise in your grilled cheese for ketchup or barbecue sauce. Swap our preferred red Leicester for cheddar cheese or even use a yummy strong French cheese. Many memories from childhood involve grilled cheese. It was one of my favourites, if not my biggest favourite comfort food…

That’s right! Three cheeses go into this gorgeous tart – cheddar, cheshire and red leicester all encased in a crumbly pastry. Or, instead of all the cheese, you could add some veg to your tart like in this courgette, onion and cheddar tart.
