"The human race has found a myriad of beautiful and creative ways to mainline dairy. It’s what separates us from animals, they say. Our cheddar-loving dog tends to disagree. But arguably the greatest method us clever little cheese fanatics have found is melting it. Melting it so that we can consume it faster, hotter, and dip polite cubes of potato into it and say profound things like ‘IT’S LIKE WE’RE ON A SKI HOLIDAY, RIGHT?’. Yes, raclette is the mood and artfully jabbing La Ferme’s quality French charcuterie with metal sticks is the method. If you leave without feeling like you’re a walking block of Morbier, you’re doing it wrong." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"La Ferme are delivering boxes of ready meals around central and north London, and beyond. Each box includes between three and twelve mains, dishes like slow cooked lamb shoulder, salmon and spinach lasagne, and asparagus risotto. Check out their menu of the week, and place your order here." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Raclette is popular on ski slopes. Ski slopes are pretty much always cold places. Do you see where we’re going with this? Make like a rich person whose daddy just happens to have a lodge in Aspen and hit the hot cheese. Hit the hot cheese hard. La Petite Ferme in Clerkenwell is a charming little French restaurant that serves all-you-can-eat Morbier raclette for £32 per person. All of the wooden banquette seating and kitsch countryside knickknacks will really help feed into your alpine fantasy too. " - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Remember that place you stumbled upon in Lyon several years ago? The one that still makes you a little misty-eyed whenever you think about the quaint tablecloths? Well, despite being on a main road in Farringdon, La Petite Ferme has exactly that feel. Yes, the plants are fake, your table might wobble, and the paintings of random vegetables will probably offend your more modernist friends, but it’s all part of the charm. Come with a few of your favourite people, eat a tonne of cheese, and witness your mates say “isn’t this lovely” every five minutes as they get progressively hammered on Bordeaux." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
