Feet Of God

 

French poet Leon Paul Fargue, who described his favorite cheese — Camembert — as smelling like “les pieds de Dieu,” or the feet of God.

Camembert derives its name from the village in Normandy (in the northwest of France) where it was originally produced.

Baked Camembert

 

 

 

 

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (170°C fan). Take the Camembert out of the wooden box, remove the plastic wrapping, and pop it back into the box again. Use a sharp knife to cut a large circle out of the rind on the top (leaving a margin round the edge to stop the melted cheese spilling).
2. Sprinkle fresh rosemary spears, black pepper and a little drizzle of olive oil over the top of the Camembert, and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
3. When the cheese is nearly ready, cut the baguette into slices about 2cm thick, and toast in the toaster or under the grill. Once ready, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt and finely chopped fresh rosemary. Serve straightaway.
