Customer Reviews

Inventive.

I picked this up while browsing a Sale Cookbook section in a NYC Barnes and Noble. It reminded me more than anything my love of cheese from my early years while growing up in Poland. Oh I loved melting it and putting it in everything I ate. This book gives a great introduction to the types of cheese and what they are good for. It's helpful when facing a cheese display in my favorite grocery store with a look of confusion my face. This breaks it down to great types of cheeses out there and best ways of using them. This book has recipes for cheese sandwiches, soups, baked and fried appetizers and many more branches of cheese use. Great buy, it really focuses on the main ingredient!

Cheesus loves you!

One sunday afternoon i was sitting reading this delightful cook book about cheese. my grandson came to me and said..."grandpa....what is cheese?" said little jonny. i chuckled with delight and joyus and then i simply told young jonny " cheese is a wonder....a way of life" then lil' jonny and i feasted on my new homemade cheese stick. then jonny replied, "wow grandpa, you sure are grand." HAHA dont you know it. in conclusion i state that cheese is a wonder for life of all colors sizes and ages...even my wife,a.k.a cheese.
