Buchanans Cheesemonger kicked off its London Cheese School in collaboration with Phil Howard last night at its shop in Marble Arch, London.
The Cheese School rotates three different events a month including a cheese and drinks pairing masterclass, a ‘Meet the Maker’ supper club and a lunch at Phil Howard’s new restaurant, Elystan Street.
Howard will host two three course luncheons, showcasing seasonal ingredients and pairing them with cheese. Last night, Howard exampled this with a tartare of aged beef with artichoke heart, truffle and radish, topped with Berkswell cheese.
The cheese and drinks pairing masterclasses will be held at the Buchanans cheesemonger shop. Diners will be given six wines to taste with a pair of cheeses to identify a perfect pairing.
The Meet the Maker supper clubs will introduce diners to the people behind the cheeses stocked in the Buchanans shop. The evenings will be hosted by the cheesemaker, offering a two-course meal with matching wines.
Buchanans Cheesemonger opened on Porchester Place in April 2014, established by former Michelin-starred chef Rhuaridh Buchanan.
It operates as both a wholesale and retail outlet, sourcing cheeses from over 100 cheesemakers across the UK and Europe and supplying to some of London’s top restaurants.
