  ..  One of the best cheesemaking guide books available, Cheesemaking Made Easy presents everything the novice cheesemaker needs to know to make great tasting cheeses starting with the very first batch.

Cheesemaking Made Easy covers ingredients, 60 easy recipes, soft cheeses, hard cheeses, whey cheeses, goat's milk cheeses, bacterial and mold ripened cheeses. Photographic illustrations and a glossary are included. ..  CHEESE PRIMER For 20 years, Steve Jenkins has lead the way in upgrading the quality of cheese sold at fine food stores in the U.S. Finally, in this volume, he shares his encyclopedic knowledge. Jenkins tells all about cheesemaking at the commercial as well as the artistic level. Generously punctuated with maps and photos, the book includes all kinds of historical and other relevant information. Jenkins seems to describe every kind of cheese made in the U.S. and Europe, including when to eat them, how and with what. His passion and blunt opinions make it easy to travel the 548 pages of this book if you have even the smallest interest in cheese. The guide to pronunciation is particularly helpful. .. ..  Reader beware: the photographs in Cheeses of the World are so gorgeous, you might be tempted to eat the page. If, however, you and the book survive that first delirious onslaught of full color Camemberts, Bries and Parmesans, there's plenty of food for thought to keep you entertained (if slightly hungry). Here is the complete history of some two hundred cheeses from thirty-seven different countries. Starting with antiquity, the book explores the evolution of cheese, how it developed and diversified, and how it is made--both the traditional and industrial methods of production. .. Sections describe the history of cheese, the rules governing its production in the modern world, and how it's classified. Cheeses of the World then divides its remaining chapters into regions: Northern Europe, France, Central Europe, Lands of the Sun, and New Worlds. Each section discusses the particular cheeses native to that area, amply illustrated with photographs, reproductions, and drawings. This is the book for cheese lovers. ...  FRENCH CHEESES Although many guides to the art of fromagerie exist, none provide such visual detail and at-a-glance information as Masui and Yamada. They categorize 350 cheeses in a dictionary format, divided by regions of production, and add succinct sidebars about manufacturing processes and the definition of specific terms (i.e., the distinction between artisanal and industriel), generally enlightening even the most blaseof cheese buyers. Like many California wine, few of the cheeses produced in limited quantities even leave the country, so the compilation here yields many surprises. There is a massive amount of reference data to be consumed and savored piece by piece. A glossary and a list of producers, shops, and markets are appended.

A PASSION FOR CHEESE A Passion for Cheese is a celebration of a wondrously versatile, varied ingredient and an exploration of the ways in which cheese can be combined to create unashamedly modern, sublime dishes. .. Highly knowledgeable about cheese, Paul Gayler has put the distinctive qualities of each cheese first, before marrying - or juxtaposing - it with other ingredients. The saltiness of Cashel Blue, for example, contrasts wickedly with the sweet syrup of pecan pie, while smoked mozzarella melds beautifully with the wood-charred taste of blackened leeks and red onions to make a supreme salad. From soups to pasta, meat and fish to vegetable dishes, sauces to desserts, these recipes simply ooze temptation. .. With an increasingly wide selection of international cheeses available in delicatessens and supermarkets, A Passion for Cheese uses popular and less common cheeses, but always offers alternatives where appropriate.

FONDUE There was a time in America (the dark ages of the 1960s and early 1970s) when fondue was synonymous with cubes of white bread dipped in melted Velveeta. After a brief craze, fondue went the way of lava lamps, shag carpeting, and leisure suits, its pot and skewers retired to the back of a high kitchen cupboard where they're forgotten until the next garage sale. ... Now, however, fondue is making a comeback, and--like Barbie--it's gotten a whole new look. In Fondue, Rick Rodgers takes the three basic fondues--cheese, chocolate, and fried--and mixes in the flavors of the '90s--everything from sun-dried tomatoes to espresso. He even adds a fourth category, Asian fondue, for those fat- and calorie-conscious cooks who prefer their food simmered in broth. Swordfish Fondue with Tapenade Mayonnaise; Gingered Curry and Cheddar Fondue; Vietnamese Beef Fondue with Rice Vinegar Stock and Anchovy-Pineapple Sauce--the '60s were never like this! In Fondue, Rick Rodgers proves that, once again, it's hip to dip. ..  WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHEESE The World Encyclopedia of Cheese is a hardcover book that just came out this past fall. As the name suggests, the book explains and classifies different cheeses from around the world. ...  GOAT CHEESES .. Goat Cheeses {Delectable Recipes for All Occasions}.
