Luxurious Mozzarella - beautiful clip
Some people view cheese-making as something that only people in the countryside or real hippies would do. This amazing post from the very stylish Luxiare of Manhattan making mozzarella could very well blow their minds. I've embedded the video below, but you really must read her whole blog post on the matter because she does some of the most amazing food styling and photography that I've ever seen. - Jo from http://www.socontent.co.nz

Getting into a sticky situation - guest post from Joanna
One of my favourite Asterix books when I was young was Asterix in Switzerland, because of the ridiculous fondue orgy that the Romans have, where everyone gets covered in cheese and have to pay dreadful forfeits every time they drop their bread into the pot. I decided it would be a good idea to host my own fondue party, because although I don't intend to drop any of my guests into a lake with chains on their feet, the more traditional forfeits sound like fun:
“Throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s, fondue remained the focus of friendly get-togethers across the nation. A popular Swiss custom associated with fondue, the forfeit, involves a group of people congregating around a fondue pot and taking turns dipping their bread. "If a woman drops a cube of bread into the fondue, she has to kiss all the men; if a man drops the bread cube, he has to buy a bottle of wine. If the person drops a cube of bread for the second time, he or she must host the next fondue party," according to Hamlyn Press, publishers of The Fondue Cookbook. - http://fonduefusion.com/store/fondue_history.php
I haven't chosen a recipe for a fondue yet out of the thousands that are available on the internet because I've decided that I really must go in to cultured and sample all the cheeses on offer first. And of course, have a substantial consultation with Wendy as she's the cheese expert, but believe me, I'll be reporting back about my progress as I get along with it!
