CHAMPIONING THE PEAR! This is a perfect chutney for the Christmas cheeseboard. It’s sweet with warm spices and goes beautifully with sharp cheddar or mature goat cheese. I used Craigies Ballyhook Flyer Irish cider in mine, which is a medium-bodied dry cider, so I’d definitely recommend splashing out a bit on something special. RECIPE: SPICED…

Apple & Stout Chutney
PERFECT FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS CHEESEBOARD! This Apple and Stout Chutney was a hit at Christmas. The stout is a key ingredient here, so head down to your local craft beer shop and root out a really good one.

Fig, Apple & Ginger Chutney
The thing I love about Swiss supermarkets, is that they’re seasonal. Yes, it can be frustrating if you get a sudden craving in November for grilled asparagus. Frankly, unless you’re willing to scour the city or fork out at Fortnum & Mason’s, then you’re going to be out of luck. But, when the asparagus season…
