Don't Throw Away Cheese

Cheese looking like it has seen better days? Grate it up and use it as a topping for all kinds of dishes, from pizza to tuna casserole to vegetable bake. Use it for a lasagne or any other dish that requires cheese sauce. Grate it, add a splash Worcestershire sauce; pile it onto bread (doesn’t matter if it’s getting a bit stale) and grill it for a delicious Welsh Rarebit.

If the cheese has started to go mouldy (when it’s not a cheese that should be blue, like Stilton), don’t eat or cook with the mouldy bit. On a hard cheese, though, you can cut an inch around the mould and throw that piece away. Mould doesn’t spread easily in hard, dry cheeses, so the rest should be fine.

THINK: Reduce, reuse, recycle.
