Blue Cheese Panna Cotta with Spiced Poached Pear

This post is a long time in the works. I had a dish very similar to this last year in the Tannery as a starter and couldn’t wait to try to recreate it. It is quite festive in flavours so I wanted to wait until near enough to Christmas to post. Unfortunately this means I’m […]
