"Of course today is National Cookie Day, because itâs most definitely cookie season. Even though itâs been a while since I poured a glass of milk and put a few colorfully iced, cut-out sugar cookies on a plate for Santa, I believe that homemade cookies are a holiday tradition worth keeping. I like to bake 10 or 12 varieties, and as each is done, I stash the cookies in tins in the cold garage until Iâm ready to package them up to give away, arranged on festive paper plates, wrapped with cellophane, and tied with ribbon." ~ Editor-in-Chief Susan Axelrod compiled some of Culture's Best Sweet-and-Savory Cookie Recipes to make with Cheese (think Aged Gouda Sandwich Cookies and Jammy Blue Cheese Thumbprints).

"Dessert before Dishonor: From the French verb desservir, meaning "to clear the table,â dessert is usually the cherry on top of a sustaining meal. Sweet interludes in the form of sorbets or candied flowers have long served as mid-meal palate cleansers, but the dessert course came into its own at Renaissance-era salons. There, intellectuals and creatives would gather to share ideas whilst nibbling on palm-sized pastries following the main course. Indeed, the concept of dessert still feels like an indulgent prize that rewards dinersâ patience." Read more in the link in bio. â

With nearly 30 years of experience in the dairy industry, Reggie Jones, founder and head cheesemaker at Central Coast Creamery, knows his way around a wheel of cheese. While some would assume his passion was cultivated by a life surrounded by dairy, it was actually quite the opposite. âI got into cheese by happenstance,â Jones says. âI had a degree in biological sciences, and no job.â After signing up at a temp agency, he was placed in a lab at a large-scale cheese factory and things just clicked.

This take on classic ramen gets its flavor from an unlikely ingredientâ French cheese. The broth recipe yields more than needed for the ramen; use leftovers as stock in other recipes for a layer of umami flavor.â
