Yes, I’ve been cooking a lot with goat cheese lately. There are so many wonderful varieties here in France…
First up, I made a ratatouille and fresh goat’s cheese verrine for Murdoch Books 365 Challenge, where where cooks across the world are working their way through Stéphane Reynaud’s whimsical culinary almanac – “365 Good Reasons to Sit Down to Eat.”
To see how I fared cooking in my tiny kitchen, pay a visit to Murdoch Books 365 Blog!
Interested in purchasing a copy of Stéphane Reynaud’s 365 Good Reasons to Sit Down to Eat? You can find it on Amazon or, for free worldwide shipping, buy it from The Book Depository.
Next up, I was honoured to be asked to write a guest post for Jackie, a London-based food blogger and as luck (and my fridge) would have it, I ended up working on another goat cheese dish – a Galette with chèvre, chicken, cherry tomatoes and arugula. This was so good, I made it twice!
To read my thought process behind this and to get the recipe, pop over to Jackie’s lovely blog, I am a Feeder!
I am submitting this post to Goaterie – a group of people cooking with all things got this summer!
Keep up with me this summer through my Summer 2011 Flickr set.
I have so much goat cheese right now, I am definately going to make this!!
What a terrible problem to have, LOL!
OH MY… Love the galette
I have a pot of arugula growing , hanging on for this when I can harvest again.
That series of photos is spectacular!
Thanks so much. I love arugula – the spice works well with the sweet goat cheese.
Thanks for including your goat dishes in Goaterie Mardi, it’s been a fun and informative month. My Pulled Goat is now just cooling after a night in the crockpot…very excited to try BBQ goat sandwiches a bit later!
My goodness – it’s been interesting to see what everyone has come up with!
I didn’t realize there were so many creative ways to incorporate goat cheese into a dish! I definitely need to give one of these recipes a try!
Oh goat cheese goes with everything!
Love the recipe. Very nice use of goat cheese. And so very bright and flavorful. Nice!
Cheers!
I am not allowed to have goat cheese right now-pregnancy:( As soon as this baby comes I am going to go goat cheese crazy!
Oh that must be very hard!
Ooh, such lovely dishes! I can only imagine how wonderful they taste with your lovely French goat cheese~
Ah you know, everything tastes better in France!
I love your tart! The color of the tomatoes are beautiful! I have to make this, goat cheese is my favourite one!!
Delicious! My best friend’s son is an artisan cheese maker – specializing in Goat Cheese. Who is a lucky girl?
OMG – YOU are! Jealous!
That is a beautiful galette! I grew up on goat cheese and am so glad that more and more people in the U.S. are recognizing its deliciousness! 🙂
Yes it’s funny how it’s just starting to get popular across the pond…
See! The galette came out perfectly! Love these dishes, Mardi, bravo!
Hurrah – even in an unfamiliar oven!

I miss France. So glad you are enjoying the cheese. I ate so much bread and cheese when I lived there. Great rustic torte; it looks really yummy!
