Warm blue cheese and crab dip recipe

Warm blue cheese and crab dip is a delicious, if unusual, accompaniment to almost any dish.

To drink: A classic gin and tonic. The herbs and aromatics in the gin will stand up to the strong cheese, while the bitter tonic and acidic lemon will counter the creaminess.
