BEST-SELLING BOOK FROM SHARON TYLER HERBST AND RON HERBST.
Age is not important unless you are a cheese.. —Helen Hayes (in the play New Woman)
While there are hundred of cheese books available, most are large, weighty tomes with cheeses arranged by country, which means readers have to know where the cheese is from or search through a confusing index to find it. THE CHEESE LOVER'S COMPANION is the most comprehensive, indispensable, user–friendly A–to–Z guide that includes everything about cheese. Included are entries from Asiago to Zamorano; cheese terminology; information on how cheese is made along with tips for pairing cheese with wine and beer. The small, handy format makes it easy to take the book along when choosing and buying And it's the only A-to-Z cheese reference to have easy, sound-out pronunciations.
No cheese snobbery here. This standout book is written in a relaxed,
conversational style that dispels cheese intimidation. Arranged
alphabetically, the more than 1,000 entries include myriad details on cheese
making; individual cheeses; buying and storing cheese; tips for cooking with
cheese; working with cheese in the kitchen; serving cheese; pairing wine and
cheese; pairing beer
and ale with cheese; a glossary of cheese descriptors; listings of
cheeses by country of origin, but milk type and by type (fresh, soft, semisoft,
semihard, hard, blue, double-cream, triple-cream, and pasta filata); and
more.
Small enough to carry into a cheese shop, The Cheese Lover’s Companion overflows with a rich blend of fact and details and is complete enough to offer insights for both the novice and the connoisseur. Its "in a nutshell" approach makes it the perfect reference for anyone who, in 30 seconds, wants to understand the difference between Stilton and Gorgonzola, or whether Ragusano is a cheese or a place or both.
A
cheese may disappoint. It may be dull, it may be naive, it may be
oversophisticated. Yet it remains cheese, milk'sleap toward immortality.
—Clifton Fadiman
