Cheese Primer by Steven Jenkins

$16.95 Cheese Primer by Steven Jenkins A Passionate guide to the world's cheese, from grand Parmigiano-Reggiano and stunning Roquefort to Cheddar from the Farm, High Alpine Emmentals, haunting Italian Toma, the real Munster, and fresh tangy artisanal che'vres. Steven Jenkins is our foremost cheese authority--in the words of The New York Times, "a Broadway impresario whose hit is food." Now, after years of importing cheeses, scouring the cheese-producing areas of the globe, and setting up cheese counters at gourmet shops, he's decided to write it all down. Full of passion, knowledge, and an expert's considered opinions the cheese primer tells you everything you need to know about the hundreds of cheeses that have become available in this United States. Region-by-region, he covers all the major cheeses from France, Italy, Switzerland--the top tier of cheese-producing countries--plus the best of Britain, Ireland, Spain, the United States, Austria, Germany, and elsewhere. A complete primer, it includes information on the best ways to store and serve cheese, including which wines to serve with them; how to orchestrate a proper cheese course; and the one of a kind cheeses to look up when abroad.
