We cannot be more excited than for what this book brings to the world of entertaining with cheese.
Fromager Brian Keyser and pastry chef Leigh Friend wanted to do something different than the usual cheese plates at New York City’s Casellula Cheese & Wine Café – and they did. Now they’re sharing their secrets in this insider’s guide to the wide, wonderful world of cheese, and the condiments that bring it to the next level. Boy, we could not agree more. With seventy recipes for accompaniments – from spicy fruit chutneys to whole grain mustards and nut brittles — and dozens of unexpected pairings, Composing the Cheese Plate will help you create a one-of-a-kind cheese course every time!

AMAZON DESCRIPTION:
The booming worlds of artisan cheese and craft beer meet in this first-ever guide, an introduction to two dozen popular craft-beer styles and the cheeses that pair best with them.
The introductory chapter includes general advice on pairing cheese and beer; and on selecting, storing and presenting cheese. Six themed platters give readers ideas for entertaining with beer and cheese.
Back in 2005, Tenaya Darlington stumbled into Di Bruno Bros. cheese store in search of sharp Cheddar. What she found behind the counter of Philadephia’s largest cheese house changed the way she viewed dairy forever. She met a hairy band of cheesemongers who were keen to talk about raw milk and lactic fermentation the way some people talk about baseball. Within a few weeks, she committed myself to tasting every cheese in the store and blogging about it.
Over five years, she scribbled notes, played with pairings, and nibbled her way through the entire stock — first as a customer, then as the store’s resident blogger. this collaboration finally turned into a book project.
AMAZON DESCRIPTION:
This book is one man’s journey to find out what a familiar food can tell us about ourselves. Cheddar may be appreciated in almost all American homes, but the advocates of the traditional wheel versus the processed slice often have very different ideas about food.
The author Gordon Edgar is taking readers on a tour through the world of cheddar. For more than fifteen years he has worked as an iconoclastic cheesemonger in San Francisco. His fresh perspectives on such a seemingly common topic are thought-provoking and entertaining.
“Finally, the go-to source for all things cheese in one single, sensational volume. Every cheesemonger in America will want this in their library.” Rob Kaufelt, president of Murray’s Cheese
