When it comes to pairing cheese with an alcoholic beverage, most people think of wine. However, beer is actually an excellent choice for serving with cheese. I was skeptical at first, but after attending a seminar on cheese and beer pairings hosted by the Milk Board of Wisconsin, I'm a total convert. Cheese and beer do work well together!

What makes them perfect for pairing? Well, beer and cheese have a rich joint history. The grain used to make beer on farms or in monasteries was, in many cases, the same grain that was fed to the animals that produce the cheese. Beer and cheese can also take on similar flavor profiles; both can be described as earthy, yeasty, musty, carmeley, etc. Interested in learning more about this popular trend? Keep reading for tips on how to pair beer and cheese.

Nothing could possibly get close to topping the purity of eating a single, perfectly ripe piece of fruit, but sorbet can get pretty darn close. Since I'm sorbet's number-one fan, and because my last adventure with lemon-buttermilk sorbet went off without a hitch, I decided to try my hand at capturing cantaloupe at its peak.

Unlike ice cream, sorbet doesn't require the finicky step of tempering, so I was certain the method would be more forgiving. Not so much: I modified a recipe from Sunset's One-Block Feast cookbook, subbing honey for honey syrup, then ran it through an ice cream maker as usual. The next-day result? A frozen block of ice that dissipated into granita-like chunks when I tried to scoop it.

Has this happened to you? Any idea what went awry?

Fruit flies are a pesky kitchen menace that always seem to appear when the produce is plentiful, like right now at the end of Summer. Peaches, tomatoes, melons, squash, and grapes attract these teeny brown bugs that multiply in mere minutes. Don't be scared if you're facing an infestation, it's easy to outsmart fruit flies. Read more to learn how you get rid of fruit flies.

When Summer hands you fresh blueberries, Food Orleans thinks you'd be remiss not to make what she calls the blueberry lemon cake of great happiness.

Meet my favorite blueberry cake.  It's got a great texture thanks to chopped almonds scattered throughout, it's not overly sweet, and it's really easy to make--you don't even need a mixer.  If you like blueberry muffins in the morning, this cake makes a great substitution, but it can also be tonight's dessert thanks to its pretty sugar-sprinkled top.  And I'll go ahead and tell you that it works beautifully with vanilla ice cream, although you probably already guessed that.

I first met this cake ten years ago, in an issue of Cooking Light.  Over the past decade, I've made it many times, altering flavorings a bit, augmenting the amount of butter, trying different additions (the original calls for pecans and orange zest).  I've completely forgotten about it for long stretches, maybe even going three years without the slightest thought of it--but when I remember it, I'm so happy.  This cake makes me happy.  It is the cake of great happiness.

Make the recipe for breakfast, dessert, or any other occasion when you keep reading.
