C'est Bon at C'est Cheese Please!


You are going to think that all I talk about are goat cheeses but this one is pretty special because it is a low fat cheese - calm down! I can hear you all sighing and see the rolling of the eyes as you say, but low fat cheese is awful. Please do yourselves a favour and try C'est Bon and you will become believers. Full of flavour, the consistency of cream cheese so you can spread it on your Montreal-style, wood-fire oven bagel (which I carry on a Saturday morning, warm from said oven) AND only 15% fat, 30 calories per tablespoon - this is a miracle. I have photographed it along with the Jelly Boys - the fabulous gourmet savoury jellies that come in such flavours as Ginger Lime Cilantro, Garlic & Hot Pepper, Cucumber Dill, Herb & Onion and Chili Tangerine. These jellies can be used as condiments and glazes as well as spreads and are delicious but the most important thing for all of you calorie and fat conscious gourmands out there, they are only 15 calories per teaspoon and zero, yes, zero fat. I also have some great new crackers that are 130 calories and 1% fat per, are you ready, 19 crackers! So go ahead, indulge while you are watching the quarter final game tonight between Team Canada and Russia! Go Team Canada Go!
