Grilled cheese is a welcome warmer as temperatures drop. What could be better on a Sunday night than curling up in front of the fire with a toasted cheese and chutney sandwich, or bowl of French onion soup gooey with gruyere?
I visited the south of the South Island recently, an area as famous for its cheese rolls as for the way locals roll their "r"s. When I came across Sue Harvey selling Southern Cheese Rolls from her caravan in Oamaru's historic precinct on market day, it seemed only right to cajole her into giving me her recipe. Sue has taken the roll to new heights by using local
Whitestone's Totara Tasty and even offers a garlic butter option.
We reminisced about warming up from a cold walk home from school, she had a cheese roll and a bowl of soup and I had Mouse Traps around the fire. I rang my mother June for her Mouse Trap recipe.
