"This is not a recipe I have yet tried. As written it comes from a cookbook ~ Compiled by Kim Wesley from Peppermint Lane Lodge Bed and Breakfast, the book was put together in just 10 weeks as Wesley's passion project, with no help or backing from a traditional publisher. The cookbook details stunning yet easy recipes collected from the picturesque area of Western Australia's south west, including this goat cheese bruschetta. I am posting this for Im Pat, who is from W.A. and is looking for a goats cheese recipe in the forum, A recipe posting game. I do want to try this myself, and hope to very soon."
