A Cheesemonger's Compendium introduces 150 of the finest cheeses from across the British Isles. It is a perfect companion for all of us hooked by Ned Palmer's acclaimed Cheesemonger's History. Each cheese on Palmer's cheeseboard is accompanied by a morsel of history or a dash of folklore,a description of its flavours,and an enticing illustration.
Palmer peppers his book with stories of eccentric and colourful cheesemakers and celebrates both traditional farmhouse and modern artisanal cheeses - fresh,mould-ripened,washed-rind,blue and hard. He explains how to buy your cheese like a monger,how to cut and store it,and how best to match it with drinks. The guide is completed by a brilliantly illustrated gazetteer.
