I feel my arteries hardening just lookig at this book but I have to say.... I am passionate about really good cheese. Forget yellow or white American cheese- I don't even understand how that can fall in the same category as CHEESE. Give me a delicious gorgonzola....feta (Greek- Bulgarian- Egyptia- WHATEVER!) I LOVE it all! This is a loely book that discusses how the different varieties of cheese are made and then it offers wonderful receipes for using them!!!!!!

The book is loaded with cheese and I think just looking wiil raise your cholesterol.... oh well- what a way to go!

The first half of this large book goes over how cheeses grouped into cheese families are made in large cheesemaker settings. Then there is a small section about how to select and store cheese. Then the second half of the book is a great variety of recipes of things you can make with cheese. I'm particularly excited to try the Filled Crepes (where there is even cheese in crepe batter)

The information in this book, while abundant, is poorly organized. It however has many nice pictures.

[Wendy Hollister]

Technical info on making on cheese and info on types of cheeses was great. Info on wine and cheese pairing was very lean and not so comprehensive.

Not a bad book, but I gave it away.
