1. Heat oil in a large saucepan and add leek, garlic and bacon. Sauté over low heat for 5 minutes until soft. Add mushrooms, thyme and season to taste. Cover and cook over low heat for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until mushrooms are soft and juicy. Cool to room temperature.

2. Thinly slice half the cheese and reserve. Grate the remaining cheese and stir into the cooled mushroom mixture.

3. Brush each lasagne sheet with water on both sides to make it more pliable. Cut each sheet in thirds lengthways (we used a jagged pastry wheel). Spread each length with 2 heaped tablespoons of mushroom mixture, then roll up tightly into a scroll shape. Loosley bunch each scroll and arrange in a lightly buttered ceramic baking dish (25cm x 15cm). Pour over combined chicken stock and white wine, cover tightly with foil and bake at 180°C for 25 minutes. Uncover, drape with remaining cheese and sprinkle with pinenuts then bake for a further 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Garnish with thyme sprigs and serve.

St Claire, Mushroom and Bacon Baked Rotolo

Serves 4 Preparation Time: 40 mins Cooking Time: 1 hour

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 leek, finely sliced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

3 middle rashers bacon, finely chopped

500g Swiss Brown or Portobello mushrooms, finely sliced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

400g Tasmanian Heritage St Claire

5 (250g) fresh lasagne sheets

1/4 cup white wine

1/2 cup chicken stock

2 tablespoons pinenuts

thyme sprigs, for garnish

Tasmanian Heritage St ClaireHandcrafted to a classic Swiss style and encased in a thin gold wax coating, the rich yellow interior reveals shiny holes (or eyes) that develop during maturation. Well formed eyes are key to achieving the distinct nutty, sweet flavour of the cheese. The challenge is that the cheesemaker can’t properly check the eye formation without opening a wheel of the cheese, which makes choosing one to send for judging a difficult job!

Try with....St Claire’s slight sweetness is contrasted by serving with savoury accompaniments like pickled zucchini or cucumbers, cornichons, smoked almonds or mustard.

Try melting slices of St Claire over char-grilled asparagus and sprinkling with finely chopped hazelnuts for a delicious side dish.

About Tasmanian Heritage...Tasmanian Heritage St Claire originates from one of Australia’s oldest specialty cheese producers with a heritage dating back to 1955 when Swiss cheesemakers were invited to bring their craft to the unspoilt purity of north-west Tasmania.

Strawberries with Sour Cream and Spiced Hazelnut Sugar

Serves 6-8 Preparation Time: 10 mins Cooking Time: 5 mins (for roasting nuts)

1/2 cup brown sugar, sifted

2 tablespoons finely chopped roasted hazelnuts

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon each ground nutmeg and cloves

200g Bulla Premium Sour Cream

500g strawberries

Bulla Premium Sour CreamUtterly delicious dolloped on just about anything, Bulla Premium Sour Cream is a decadent sour cream that has a distinct light tang within its creamy profile. Its thick, glossy, smooth texture and refreshing flavour bring life to the humble cheesecake or roast potato.

Try with....For a stylish side dish, top roasted beetroot with sour cream and sprinkle with coriander and nigella seeds.

Did you know that Bulla Premium Sour Cream also makes the perfect accompaniment to sweet and decadent desserts? Its subtle acidity cuts through richness and sweetness, creating a perfect flavour balance.

Food and dairy experts from around Australia and a guest judge from Denmark gathered in Melbourne in October 2012 for two days of judging.

Led by Australian Grand Dairy Awards chief judge, Neil Willman and deputy-chief judge Russell Smith, the panel of 20 judges ogled, sniffed, sampled and scored an

impressive 153 cheeses and 246 dairy products.

Judging days start early when the first product stewards arrive to prepare the samples and judging rooms. This is quite a job as each product needs to be

presented to judges at its best, with no identifiable branding and displayed in the way the producer intended it to be.

Judges then score products according to their appearance, aroma, flavour and texture. While tasting copious amounts of cheese and ice cream might sound

like great fun, it’s taxing work and an Australian Grand Dairy Awards judge takes their role extremely seriously. While there’s strictly no talking allowed during judging, you can always hear the enthusiastic chatter of judges afterwards

deliberating on which product was their personal pick of the bunch!
