CO NT RIBUT ED BY JACQ UES PPIN

Fromage fort is the ultimate way of using leftover cheese.Jacques Ppin's father used to combine pieces ofCamembert, Brie, Swiss, blue cheese and goat cheesetogether with his mother's leek broth, some white wineand crushed garlic. These ingredients marinated in a coldcellar for a week to a week-and-a-half (he liked it reallystrong). Now Ppin's wife, Gloria, makes a milder versionin a food processor that takes only seconds. It is deliciouswith crackers or melted onto toasts. It also freezes well.
