As we move away from big sharing platters in the l

As we move away from big sharing platters in the light of COVID-19, we’re now tasked with breaking it down again and simplifying these spreads. Which means we should be cutting our cheese correctly for individual portion platters 🧀 ⁣⁣There’s an art to cutting cheese – do it right and you’ll ensure the best taste in every slice.⁣⁣Of course, the size and shape of your cheese will dictate how it is cut, but you’ll also need to bear in mind the texture. If you’re cutting a creamy cheese like Brie, you want to ensure everyone gets a bit of the centre. When it comes to firmer cheeses like Cheddar, you’ll want to ensure they’re equally divided and that you’re not left with an odd-shaped wedge which is impossible to cut.⁣⁣It certainly helps if you have the right cheese knife for the type of cheese you are cutting. Soft cheese knives are usually designed with holes in the blade to more effectively handle the gooey textures. ⁣𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞 ⁣Cut a round cheese into equal wedges by slicing it first across the middle, then making further cuts across the width of the cheese.⁣⁣𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞⁣When handling a rinded, rectangular cheese, it’s best to avoid making long, thin slices. Instead, begin by making 2 portions by cutting the cheese horizontally, about a third of the way down. With the remaining larger portion, cut slices across the width of the cheese. From the smaller portion, cut slices along what would have been the length of the cheese when it was intact.⁣⁣⁣𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞⁣Ideally everyone should get a piece of the ‘nose’ from a slice of Brie, but it’s not a practical way to cut this gooey cheese. Instead, take one slice from the nose, then you can make several long cuts from the edge towards where the nose used to be, ensuring everyone gets a bit of goo.⁣⁣𝗪𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞⁣The key is to ensure everyone receives an equal amount of ‘blueness’ in each slice. So make diagonal cuts at the two high corners and further cuts along the length of the cheese

When flying with kids, I like to ask the pilots during the flight if it’s a good time to invite the kids up to see the cockpit. They may be a little nervous or shy but offering to hold their hand or lifting them up to see all the gadgets, buttons, and views is such a nice change of scenery and distraction for them while flying. Plus the parents enjoy the photo op of their darling little aviators up there too! ⁣⁣Most guests are actually quite curious about the flight deck. Even if you have first time adults that may be new to world of private jets (especially during COVID-19), they may enjoy an invitational glimpse of insight into the cockpit as well while flying. ⁣⁣Additionally, I think if you have amiable and charismatic pilots, it gives them a chance to shine and engage with the clients in a way that they don’t get to very often besides the beginning or end of a flight. ⁣⁣ A client that is more fully engaged with the inflight experience will create a positive, solidified memory of your plane and your crew❤️⁣⁣It’s small experiences like this that help separate commercial aviation from corporate aviation. ⁣
