Product Description:

While there are hundred of cheese books available, most are large, weighty tomes with cheeses arranged by country, which means readers have to know where the cheese is from or search through a confusing index to find it. THE CHEESE LOVER'S COMPANION is the most comprehensive, indispensable, user–friendly A–to–Z guide that includes everything about cheese. Included are entries from Asiago to Zamorano; cheese terminology; information on how cheese is made along with tips for pairing cheese with wine and beer. The small, handy format makes it easy to take the book along when choosing and buying cheese.

Rating: - The Cheese Lovers Companion
The Book is exactly what I expected it to be. Specific information about cheese's of the world and a description of how they're made, what they taste like, and what foods they best accompany. I now bring it with me to cheese stores so that if I see something I think I would like, I look it up and make the decision as to whether I buy it or not.

Rating: - If you like lusciousness in food and word ...
In an earlier incarnation, I've endeavored to collect compendia of everything, and read them all, such that I could know all there is to know, and have, if not at tip of tongue, then, tip of finger, the answer, and more's the better to look, as there may be one missed or forgotten morsel of fact that I can sop up.

But lately I've discovered a loss of this generalized appetite -- or some kind of waning, perhaps it is as a barley field that only grows waist-high in one season, and stops, and does not get ever taller each year as the oak; this knowledge has a secondary purpose. The season is done. The tallness of barley counts for nothing but straw, more important are the kernels in the staff.

So I was researching "cheese," because I want to do a project of a limited scope having to do with cheese. And I found this book, "The Cheese Lover's Companion: The ultimate A - to- Z cheese Guide," Sharon ... Read More

Rating: - The indispensable companion for cheese
This book is comprehensive and easy to use and should be indispensable for cheese lovers. It is full of information, and the "dictionary" structure means that the user doesn't need to know the answer before starting the search. The writing is crisp and informative, and the price is great. This book belongs, with Food Lover's Companion, on the shelf in the kitchen for the cookbooks and reference books that actually and repeatedly get used.

Rating: - Ignore the naysayers
I don't understand the negativity. The other review reads more like something you'd hear from a jealous competing writer or publisher rather than a reader--which makes me very suspicious of his/her motives.

I, on the other hand, found The Cheese Lover's Companion to be factual, thorough, and written in a very engaging manner. I know cheese (but am always eager to learn more), and I feel the level of detail in this book is spot-on (and the production quality is fine). If you love cheese, I think you would find this title an indispensable part of your library. Highly recommended!
