Through this odyssey of cheese, an unexpected culture of passionate cheesemakers is revealed, along with the extraordinary impact of one delicious dairy product.
Warning: Reading this book will make you very, very hungry ... entertaining and informative ... Berkowitz writes with unbridled glee about the subject of 'cakey blues and bloomy rinds and marbly cheddars.' The result is a thorough, fascinating and hunger-inducing (but never cheesy) examination of the culture of cheesemaking.
An entertaining book for cheese lovers, food enthusiasts, and those looking for a fun read. Much like a good ricotta, it is light and airy with a hint of sweetness.
... cheese has always provided a healthy environment for low comedy, and Berkowitz cannot resist flavoring his authoritative knowledge with playful turns of phrase ... Ripe with fresh perspectives, this well-molded collection is a delight.
