Main meals and Desserts made with cheese

information
A great many cheeses can be used in cooking, ranging from the well known hard cheeses, such as Cheddar, Gruyere, Emmenthal, Gouda and Edam to blue cheeses, like Stilton, Danish Blue and Roquefort. The readily available creamy cheeses Camembert and Brie are excellent for frying. In America, look for aged cheeses, which are additive free: names such as Long-horn or Brick. If you can, avoid buying processed cheeses as these could contain additives and are not a natural product.
Hard cheeses have various uses. They can be grated or chopped and made into salads, mixed into pastries and sauces, scattered over braised vegetables or incorporated with them in dishes such as potato pies or vegetable patties.
Grated cheese can be mixed into bread and scone (biscuit) recipes and mixed with eggs to make quiches.
