Cheese Primer

Summary: Cheap printing, newsprint paper
Review: The content is wonderful. Jenkins knows cheeses and presents the information in a clear and readable style. However the overall form of the book is problematic. I was hoping to keep this book as a reference, but it is printed on a cheap newsprint-type paper, and I expect it will soon be yellow and brittle. The photographs are poorly printed (then again photos do not show up well on such grainy paper). I have several other cooking books from Workman Publishing, and they were all well printed and bound, on clean bright paper. I wonder why Workman Pub. suddenly got so cheap?

Summary: Comprehensive, easy reference for cheese lovers...
Review: This is THE book for finding your way through any gourmet-type cheese shop. It is a wonderful reference for both novice and expert. I am having a great time trying some of Steve's suggested combinations, and can't wait to try more! Lots of great, practical information. Yummo

Review: This is the type of food guide that anyone would love to own! Steve Jenkin's passion for cheese leaps off the pages. Well illustrated, it takes the reader through all the major cheese producing countries on the planet. Filled with information on how to buy, store and serve cheese, it is useful for both novice and connoisseur alike. A welcome addition to anyone's kitchen library.
