About this book

This essential reference covers all aspects of the four cheese styles--including 150 varieties; how to select, serve, savor, and store them; and forty-six recipes from around the world.

This comprehensive book provides a complete overview of cheese so readers can recognize the properties of each family: their history, ingredients, production and aging processes, seasonality, flavor profiles, and pairing affinities. Expert tips for choosing which cheese to buy, how to serve and store it, and the best ways to appreciate its nuances give readers the confidence to:

  • Understand the steps in the production process
  • Identify four types, 24 families, and 150 varieties of cheese
  • Pair cheese expertly with different foods and drinks
  • Create perfectly balanced cheese boards
  • Serve 46 homemade recipes

The four cheese types include fresh (cream cheese, burrata, Halloumi, gjetost), soft (goat, Brie, Époisses, Roquefort), firm (Morbier, Gouda, Cantal, cheddar), and hard (Gruyere, Emmentaler, pecorino, provola). Suggested pairings include feta roasted in fig leaves with peppercorns and preserved lemons; Munster with a Tripel pale ale, dessert wine, or gin; Stilton with black cherry jam, mango juice, or on pizza; and Grana in pesto or with sparkling or red wine according to the age. Once familiar with the varieties, put your favorite cheese to use in savory or sweet recipes, from Quesadillas to Parmesan Soufflé, Frittata à la Scamorza to Tartiflette, Linguine Carbonara to Khachapuri, or Cheesecake to Ricotta Pancakes. A glossary, selected bibliography, and indexes to the cheese varieties and the recipes complete the book.

Cheddar Gorge: A Book of English Cheeses
<p>Where can you read about a monstrous cheese big enough to hold a girl of 13 inside? Or that the invention of the bicycle directly, and poorly, impacted sales of cheddar? Or that some of the first cheese makers hid gold coins inside their wheels of dairy as a sales tool?</p><p><em>Brethren, the writer calls you this because he hopes that you are 'cheese-minded' like himself.</em></p><p>This classic and charming book, a timeless love letter to English cheeses was first published in 1937, newly rediscovered and charmingly illustrated by EH Shepard. It is a treasure trove of wonderful anecdotes including the tale of the monstrous cheese big enough to hold a 13-year-old inside, the Stilton that purred like a cat and the famous cheesemaker in Manchester who selected which Cheshire cheese to sell based on where the mice had been nibbling 'as they were the best judges of a good cheese'.</p><p>Sir John Squire, a notable journalist of the time, collected together 'a galaxy of talent', with the aim of making this 'one of the most delightful and entertaining gift books that has ever been published'. Each of the distinguished ten contributors champion an individual cheese, setting forward their passionate and compelling arguments, celebrating the differences and delights of each type. Through their explorations, the chequered beauties of the English landscape unfolds.</p><p>It will certainly whet the appetite for English cheese, for that is ultimately what matters most, as after all 'the only way to learn about cheese is to eat it.'</p>
