How to Create a Stellar Cheese Plate

Sometimes late in the evening (after the kiddos are asleep), we get together with our neighbors for cheese tastings. We typically take turns choosing the cheeses for the evening, which always keeps things interesting and ecclectic. But, whether you're enjoying cheese with a couple of friends, making it into a light, summer lunch, or bringing a cheese plate to a party, it's always good to know in advance what to bring. It can be very overwhelming to stare at 50-100 different cheeses and figure out those that are outstanding and worth the price tag!

Today over at Zupas I am sharing my favorite cheeses, and all the yummy sides that are delicious with them. You can read my recommendations here.
