Thank you=)What actually is marscapone!And does it taste like anything else!Bit difficult for me now that I have no taste or smell, to figure out what "new" foods may be suitable for!

Figs with Mascarpone & Gorgonzola

serves 4

8 fresh figs (or large soft dried figs)
4 handfuls of rocket or watercress
250g ripe gorgonzola or other mild blue cheese
100 - 150 ml mascarpone
1 tsp white wine vinegar

Mix Gorgonzola, mascarpone and vinegar to make a lumpy paste thick enough to spread.

Arrange leaves on plates, cut figs in halves or quarters and place on top, divide cream amongst plates in dollops.

Or partly quarter figs and place cream in middle.
