Cheese Week
Week One
Throughout Oregon, you’ll find handcrafted cheese in places where you can sample it, watch it being created, and even learn to make it yourself. This week, James Beard-nominated chef Cathy Whims of Nostrana visits a small dairy in the Willamette Valley and gets her hands on the udder of a jersey cow, then turns the milk into artisan cheese.
Featured Recipe:
Fettuccine with Fromage Blanc, Spring Onions, Chives and Pecorino
This is a simple yet tasty pasta dish that features a creamy texture of fromage blanc with extra virgin olive oil. A perfect compliment to a fall dinner.
