Cheese Storage Tip and Lamb Roasting Hint
Fresh cheese stays better when wrapped in muslin dampened with vinegar and water and kept in a paper bag in a cool spot. For leg of lamb, rub with salt garlic pepper and marjoram before cooking to improve flavor. When frying croquettes in a wire basket, dip the basket into hot fat first so the croquettes release easily.
