amusing, I feel that all the "one star" graders are so severe because they do not have any idea what kind of cheeses Rachel Ray is talking about, except for the liverot, that should spell LivArot, her idea is excellent.... beware people with one star, there are more than Mild and sharp cheddaror Mozarella offered today in american markets. look, sniff, and enjoy ....having a generous platter of cheese at your next party will open your friends eyes on your good taste and imagination. but do not drizzle lavender honey or balsamic vinagar on anything, this should be left to the discretion of the individual... for me it would be a sacrilege if my cheese wasn't presented as nature intended it to be eaten "au naturel" a good cheese doesn't need to be masked. Just a good piece of french or italian bread should be sufficient.
