Award-winning chef Sophie Wright is the French goat's cheese Ambassador. She says, "I'm passionate about simple, practical recipes. French goat's cheese is so versatile and easy to use, as it moulds well with lots of food styles. Just pick up some chèvre at your local supermarket or local deli.  It can be used to whip up mouthwatering meals at short notice. Ranging from mild to strong, creamy to hard, chèvre is great as a lunchtime treat or a sophisticated dinner party dish."
