Thea Everett: Innovator in Dairy Cooking
Thea Everett has made a name for herself in the world of dairy by developing recipes that highlight the unique and complex flavors of British territorial cheeses. Everett advocates for using these cheeses as a main ingredient, akin to selecting a specific cut of meat, rather than as a mere afterthought.
Through her work, she has emphasized that British territorial cheeses can offer everything that traditional Cheddar does, while also providing a more interesting and complex flavor profile when used in cooking. This perspective challenges conventional views on cheese and encourages chefs and home cooks alike to explore the potential of these cheeses in their culinary creations.
Everett's approach to recipe development is not just about taste, but also about educating consumers and chefs on the versatility and richness of local cheeses. Her work has contributed significantly to the appreciation and increased use of British cheeses in various culinary applications.
