To brie or not to brie
| Q | We want a cheese wedding cake for our big day, but as it's going to be held in August we're worried about the heat. Can we still have one? |
| A | Sue Hooper says: Of course you can, so long as you consider where to show it off. You don't want it in the blazing sun, so position your cake in a light, fairly well-ventilated area on a sturdy surface. Any good cheese cake maker will also know how to properly stack their creation, but if opting for softer varieties it's worth checking they're planning on using small stilts to support the cheeses' weight, so it doesn't collapse during the day. Apart from that, it's pretty much all systems go, so start by having fun choosing a selection of cheese that not only complements each other in flavour, but also visually looks good together. After all, it's going to be pretty well photographed on the day! |

| Q | My fiancé is adamant he doesn't want a formal wedding breakfast, but I want our guests to enjoy a gourmet meal that's going to leave them full and contented. What do you suggest? |
| A | Phil Wilson says: You can't go wrong with high-quality fish and chips! Why? It's one of those meals that puts everyone in a good mood, whether it be from seaside memories or just that nostalgic Friday night feeling. At Wilson's Traditional Fish & Chips we put the aesthetics in our dishes, complete with complimentary portions of tartare sauce and mushy peas, garnished with a wedge of lemon and a sprig of parsley and put together in a decorative box. It's a filling dish that will please everyone, plus you can give all your guests the same, with the only variances to your menu being those with dietary requirements – which we can of course happily accommodate. Trust us – guests at your wedding will remember the novelty of enjoying a fish and chip van at your wedding, especially one which looks as good as ours… |
