Think of the Brie wedge 🔽 coming from a large round Brie wheel ⚪️. The center of the wheel is the most ripe part and gets less ripe as you get to the outer edge.

By cutting the long slices, more people can have a taste of the center/tip and share in the variations of ripeness throughout the wedge.

Oftentimes, this etiquette is not followed. The tip goes first and at the end of the party the Brie has been picked over with a sad hunk of rind left behind.

That said, I often break this rule when shooting cheese videos. For instance, I break it in Part 3 of this Brie series (because I wanted a great shot that would show the filling) and in the video for my @worldmarket cheese knives because (again) the shot looked better. But at parties I try to do it the “right” way.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKSeasonal #LTKhome

As you may know, we sold out a few times over the holidays (after being named one of #oprahsfavoritethings) but we’re back and available now for your spring charcuterie needs.

The map shows you what ingredients to shop for and where to place them. The ingredients are broad enough that you can change the items by season. For instance, I used a spring-y Dill Havarti and Gouda with fresh spring fruit and Easter candies on this one.

Ingredients
2-3 (8-ounce) brie wheels, cold
Honey, for serving
Honey comb, for serving (optional)
Fresh rosemary sprigs, for serving (optional)
Crackers, for serving
Directions
Cut the rind off the Brie (save for another use if you like) and cut brie into cubes. Let brie come to room temperature.
Add brie to the base of a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer to a serving plate or bowl.
Top whipped brie with honey comb, if using, and drizzle with honey. Garnish with rosemary and serve with crackers on the side. (Alternatively, try using blueberry jam instead of honey and garnish with fresh thyme!)

Note that you can totally make these without them by putting the glasses in a basket with a tea towel and leaning them on their side.

What do you think of this trend? I love how pretty these drinks turn out, but you may have noticed in my “sip” portion of the video that the ice detaches after a short while!So if you’re going to serve them up to your guests, I would use it as an opportunity to pour the drink while your guests watch for the full effect.

Note that I used Empress Gin here with Tonic and a lemon… I’m a pretty simple gal, but I’ve seen this done with lots of different drinks, including brown alcohols like bourbon, etc. fyi- it’s @empress1908gin

What do you think?
