GORGONZOLA AND TOASTED WALNUT SPREAD
Yet another cheese spread that my family has come to love. This one is a bit more expensive to make, so I tend to keep it for special occasions only.

GORGONZOLA, WALNUT AND CABERNET SPREAD
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the butter and cheese thoroughly; blend in the red wine, the garlic and the pepper if using. Add the walnuts and combine well. Cover and refrigerate overnight to develop the flavors. Let the spread soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving. Use as a spread on crackers, crostini, or Belgium endive leaves.
GORGONZOLA AND WALNUT FOUGASSE
Steps:
- Place a baking stone in the middle of the oven and preheat to 470 degrees F.
- On a lightly floured work surface, cut the dough into 4 equal pieces with a bench scraper.
- Using your fingertips, flatten the dough pieces. Transfer 1 of the pieces to the back of a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly dusted with cornmeal. Cover generously with walnuts and Gorgonzola and top with another piece of dough. Press down on the edges to seal. Using a small palette knife, cut 8 evenly spaced holes in the dough. Stretch the dough to enlarge the holes. Lightly brush the fougasse with olive oil and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Place the loaf in a warm place and let rise for 30 minutes. Repeat to make 1 more loaf.
- Working with 1 loaf a time, slide the fougasse, still on the parchment paper, onto the baking stone. Bake until crispy and brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the fougasse to a rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining loaf.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pate fermentee and water and, using your hands, break up the dough into the water.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the pate fermentee mixture and mix by hand until firm and cohesive, about 3 minutes. Allow dough to rest for 10 minutes.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough until very elastic and smooth, about 10 to 15 minutes. Take the dough's temperature. It should be at 78 degrees F.
- Transfer the dough to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap (the plastic should not touch the dough). Place the bowl in a warm place (about 75 to 78 degrees F.) and let rise for a total of 1 hour and 45 minutes. After the first 45 minutes, fold the dough and turn it over in the bowl. (It will somewhat deflate the dough, but it is gentler than what's commonly referred to as "punching down.")
- Let the dough rise, undisturbed, for 1 hour more. (The dough will rise considerably at this point.)
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Press the dough gently into a rectangle, to degas it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast. Add the water and, using your hands, mix until incorporated, about 3 minutes. (Alternatively, mix in a mixer on the lowest setting possible.) Cover bowl with plastic wrap and put in a warm place (about 75 degrees F.). Let the dough ferment for 1 hour. Take the dough's temperature. It should be at 75 degrees F.
- Refrigerate the dough at least 10 hours and up to 36 hours. When ready, it will be roughly doubled in size and have a fine network of filaments and holes. Make this recipe the night before you mix the dough.
ITALIAN TORTA WITH MASCARPONE, GORGONZOLA, AND WALNUTS
This savory spread is served in the form of a cake and served at Christmas and New Year's parties in Italy. It's decadent spread on bread or crackers. It is usually served with mostarda di frutta (candied fruit in a spicy, sweet syrup). If you can't find that, serve with crisp pears and honey. If you like, you can use sprigs of rosemary, some cinnamon bark, or sticks to decorate a forest scene on the top.

GORGONZOLA AND WALNUT STUFFED CELERY
I am always looking for new twists on appetizers or new additions. Here is one recipe that comes from Cooking with Patty. It is an italian recipe using soft gorgonzola cheese not to be confused with American gorgonzola. However if you only can find the crumbled American gargonzola it can work see the tweeks below. Patty writes,"I'm a Gongonzola cheese lover, but if you've never tasted it I suggest you to try it before preparing this recipe. Gorgonzola has a characteristic taste and a distinctive flavor and for some of you it could be too strong. The best way to taste it is to leave it out of the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Don't substitute Gorgonzola with blue cheese, Rockford or Stilton because they seem similar but they're not. The cheese used in this recipe is the sweet variety which is creamy and slightly spicy, not the spicy and hard type which resembles the above mentioned cheeses." See below for ways to make Patty's or the Americanized version. Both are a nice addition to any buffet. My guests enjoyed them. You only wish it made more. So if you like Gorgonzola double it. Enjoy.

Steps:
- 1.Trim the stalks and cut them into 4-inch pieces.
- 2. In a bowl combine the gorgonzola cheese with the walnuts. Stir the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
- 3. Fill the celery sticks with the cheese mixture and chill before serving.
- 4.****For the American Gorgonzola recipe****.
- use same ingredients but use 1/2 cup CRUMBLED Gorgonzola cheese and
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped GLAZED walnuts. The Americanized Gorgonzola is the spicier taste and the glazed walnuts counteract that with sweetness. The perfect match. You will need to mash the Gorgonzola with the back of a spoon and stir in the nuts. The mixture will be a thick paste to spread on the celery. Spread and Chill before serving.
