The only illustrated guide to Europe's gourmet cheeses, "Fine Cheese" celebrates the best cheeses you can buy today, most made by small specialist artisan cheese makers. Author Leonie Glass is a food and travel writer, and has edited major cookbooks and travel guides for a range of top publishers, including Mitchell Beazley and Duncan Petersen. Consultant editor Arthur Cunynghame provided technical backup to the author and oversaw the selection of cheeses for this edition. The former owner of Paxton and Whitfield, he is now their chief buying consultant, as well as being a Royal Warrant Holder as cheesemonger to the Queen, among others. Unashamedly selective, this book includes the best cheeses from cheese giants such as France, Britain and Spain, but also represents the best cheeses available from countries that produce less, such as Norway and Sweden. Each cheese has extensive tasting notes and practical advice on storage, as well as a guide to putting together a varied yet complementary cheeseboard and of course, what wine to enjoy with your cheese.
