“Cheese is very versatile when used in cooking. For this canapé I made a flavoursome cheese ‘snow’ by freezing the cheese beforehand and then grating. Left to thaw the frozen cheese will return to its normal state so you can pop any left overs on the cheese board!”  

Ronnie Murray, Head Pastry Chef for Hix Restaurants
