CREAMY GOAT CHEESE, BACON AND DATE DIP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the goat cheese, cream cheese, lemon juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Transfer to a 1-quart baking dish or ovenproof skillet, and spread into an even layer. Bake until warmed through and bubbling, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, then add the dates to the bacon fat in the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the insides are warm and the outsides blister, about 1 minute.
• Top the baked cheese with the dates and bacon, and garnish as you wish. Serve at once.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat the goat cheese, mayonnaise, honey and vinegar until smooth. Serve with apple and bread slices.

SPICED GOAT'S CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Put the seeds and nuts in a frying pan, then gently heat to toast them, removing them from the heat when the seeds start to pop and give off their aroma. Grind fairly coarsely using a pestle and mortar, then season with a little salt.
• Beat the goat's cheese with the milk to soften it, then add a little seasoning if needed. Tip half into a small bowl (glass, if you have one, to show off the layers) and scatter with half the seeds and a few torn mint leaves. Repeat the layer and serve with a bowl of cold radishes and toasted pittas or bread.
