ROASTED APPLE, SHALLOT AND BLUE CHEESE TART
This sweet and savory apple tart is both substantial and sophisticated. The chewy, pizza-like crust is fortified with three kinds of flour. The topping is a comforting, mellow jumble of sweet roasted apples and shallots scented with thyme and zipped up with pungent blue cheese.

Steps:
- Place 3/4 cup lukewarm water in a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast and sugar over water. Let stand until frothy, about 5 minutes.
- In another large bowl, whisk together both flours, cornmeal and 8 grams (1 3/4 teaspoons) salt. Make a well in center of dry ingredients; stir in yeast mixture and 1/3 cup oil until mixture is combined. If the dough seems dry, add a little more water. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until dough is smooth and elastic, about 7 to 10 minutes. Or, knead in a mixer or food processor fit with the dough blade for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Allow to rest at room temperature until dough has doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- While dough rises, heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together apples, shallots, 1/4 cup oil, 2 grams ( 1/2 teaspoon) salt, the black pepper and thyme. Spread onto two large baking sheets. Roast, tossing occasionally, until mixture is tender and golden, about 30 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a large rimmed baking sheet. Punch down dough and transfer to baking sheet. Using a rolling pin or your fingers, roll or stretch dough to make an even layer about 3/16-inch thick. Scatter apple-shallot mixture over crust. Scatter cheese on top. Drizzle with oil and season with flaky sea salt and black pepper. Transfer pan to oven and bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is just melted, 17 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve.

STILTON AND WALNUT WELSH RAREBIT - BLUE CHEESE ON TOAST
A very easy & tasty recipe which I first devised for using up the Post-Christmas Stilton Cheese, but now I will actually buy Stilton, when I can, or any other good quality blue cheese in order to make this supper dish! The only requirements are: good blue cheese and good "Country" style bread or home-made bread. I have used Walnut bread, Multi-grain Granary bread, French Baguette & Ciabatta bread in the past for this dish. There are numerous options and additions too - tomatoes go well on top as does a finely sliced spring onion. This recipe is great for a light supper dish with a crispy salad on the side & a good glass of Red wine too. I have also used this recipe for pre-dinner nibbles - you need to stamp out small rounds of bread if you wish to serve them that way.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the grill the the highest setting and line a grill pan with kitchen foil.
- Put the cheese into a mixing bowl and mash with a fork.
- Add the cream or creme fraiche, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, black pepper, salt, (optional as the cheese is already quite salty) & the walnut pieces.
- Mix well & set aside.
- Place all the slices of bread on to the lined grill pan and toast until just golden brown.
- Take out and spread the UNTOASTED side with butter.
- Spread the cheese mixture over the top ensuring it is spread to the edges, otherwise they will burn!
- Sprinkle with the Cayenne pepper.
- Place under the grill and grill for about 2-4 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbling & tinged with brown.
- Serve 2 slices per person with a crisp seasonal salad and a good glass or two of Red wine!
- The ultimate supper dish!
- If you wish to serve these as aperitif nibbles, stamp out rounds from the slices of bread and continue to assemble & grill as above. Serves about 8 people that way.
