Wonderful wonderful book. Total cheese porn. I especially loved the pictures and the wine pairings.

The first part of this book is like a brief summary of the authors' previous book, The Cheese Plate. The bulk of this book is devoted to describing the individual cheeses that make the authors' "best" list (one per page). Great info and photos (yes, I agree with the previous comment...it's total cheese porn). A nice supplement to their previous work.

every picture in the book lets me know exactly what the texture of each cheese is, and makes me want to spend money. i don't, however, understand the "strength" ratings in the book, as out of pie chart, a 6 is the highest marking, though only two thirds of the pie is shaded. strange. good wine pairings though.

Go to the store, buy this book and give it to your snooty mother-in-law for Festivis. She'll completely forget your bangin' her daughter.

Some of the cheeses in this book are very seasonal or hard to find. Which makes the total cheese porn in this book somewhat maddening.
