Preheat the oven to 200C.

Take the cheese out of its wrapping and return it to the box. Prick a few times with a fork and pour in a little white wine. Put the lid back on the cheese and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Finely chop the parlsey, mint, capers and anchovies and mix with the mustard, lemon juice and olive oil.

For dessert, put a couple of scoops of sorbet into a martini glass and pour over iced vodka.
