I have a perfectly good pimento cheese recipe but a cook can always use another, especially if it’s from the guy who makes the Obama family’s’ Thanksgiving pies. Brian Noyes is an acclaimed baker and café owner in rural Virginia. But he’s not a Southerner by birth so he gets away with tweaking tradition. His pimento cheese has a couple of ingredients I’ve never seen in this cult classic, but not being a Southerner either, I keep an open mind. I met Noyes recently at a party to celebrate his new cookbook, and although the cakes his bakery provided were fabulous, I came home and made the book’s pimento cheese first.
