(And if you don't currently have a cheesemonger in your life, this book will make you want to run out and find one.) The authors provide details on many types of cheese, dividing them into categories such as fresh, bloomy, washed rind, washed curd, pulled curd, and natural rind. Kamin and McElroy will make readers care about the way cheese is aged and understand why it matters. Detailed pairing analyses and instructions on creating the perfect cheeseboard for all occasions are sure to delight and inform.
VERDICT Essential reading for cheese lovers seeking more knowledge about the object of their affection.
