This richly illustrated book from a lauded cheesemonger teaches you how to make a stylish cheese platter, repurpose nibs and bits of leftover cheese into something delicious, and expand your cheese palate and taste cheeses properly.

Alongside the history and fundamentals of cheese-making, you'll even learn why cheese is actually good for you (and doesn't make you fat!), find enlightenment on the great dairy debate—pasteurized versus not pasteurized—and improve your cheese vocabulary with a handy lexicon chart.
