Match your favourite cheeses perfectly to lovely local chutneys and these finely flavoured crackers with these suggestions from our Deli team!

This easy recipe is vegetarian-friendly, no-cook and fuss-free –and did we mention that it also tastes delicious, too? You can vary the nuts and cheese if you like (blue cheese is a delightful option), but do check that the cheese is not made with animal rennet if you need to keep the recipe vegetarian. Makes 16.

Cheddar cheese and apple is truly a match made in Heaven – or perhaps that should be ‘Devon’, as we’ve used the deliciously more-ish new Smoked Cheddar from Quickes, based in nearby Newton St.Cyres, for this simple but tasty salad. Serves 4.

So called because the croutons and blue cheese make this summery dish more of a main course than a side-salad! Serves 4.

This summery vegetarian recipe is a great way to try something a little different with halloumi – there’s a little bit of work involved, but it’s fairly easy to put together (and also handy to have up your sleeve for impressing veggie guests!). Can be cooked on the hob or over a BBQ. Serves 4.

Ale partners beautifully with the artisanal cheeses in our Deli. Here are some suggestions from our Deli manager, Matt:

Simple and delicious, baked camembert is great for sharing – give yours a finishing flourish with these super-tasty topping ideas. Each recipe will top one 250g camembert cheese.

These light little puffs are quick and easy to make. Serves 10 as part of a buffet-style spread.

Crisp crackers, creamy camembert and the tangy heat of chilli jam… who could resist?! Serves 10 as part of a buffet-style spread.

These more-ish halloumi sticks are vegetarian friendly, though that won’t stop the meat-eaters scoffing them! Serves 10 as part of a buffet-style spread.

This indulgent but simple recipe is a great one for special occasions – it does use a whole wheel of brie, but the delicious end result is definitely worth it!

Summer calls for a more relaxed way of cooking and eating, and this recipe is pretty flexible.
