This a cool method of wowing the guest and also for smoking to order. The cheese is a sticky blue goats cheese which is mild and ripe. I find it better to do this with a moist cheese to allow the smoke to stick to the rind.
The cheese is placed in the center of the plate. You need a bowl of wood chips soaked in some brandy and water. Take a perfectly polished red wine glass and with a blow torch start to burn the chips until a steady plume of smoke forms. Hold the glass over the bowl and fill up with smoke fumes. Trap the smoked inside the glass and moving swiftly with a waiter there ready, turn the glass over onto the cheese and send straight away.
The guest will get an aroma of hickory at the table and also a light smoky taste to the cheese itself. You can smoke with anything you want to, its your creativity, try adding sczechuan peppers or rosemary?
