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. Once familiar with the varieties, put your favorite cheese to use in savory or sweet recipes, from Quesadillas to Parmesan souffle, Frittata a 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.
