The Book of Cheese maps the world of cheese using nine familiar favorites, what author Liz Thorpe calls the Gateway Cheeses.

Her revolutionary approach allows food lovers to focus on what they really care about: finding more cheeses to enjoy. Complete with flavor and aroma wheels, charts guiding you through different intensities and availabilities, and gorgeous photography, this is the only book on cheese you will ever need.

Originally published in 1918. Preface: We have analyzed the processes; discovered micro-organisms that hinder or help; perfected devices and machines; devised tests of many kinds; studied the chemistry; developed markets for standardized commodities. Here is one of the old established farm industries that within a generation has passed from the housewife and the home made-made hand press to highly perfected factory processes employing skilled service and handling milk by the many tons from whole communities of cows. This is an example of the great changes in agricultural practice. This book is intended as a guide in the interpretation of the process of making and handling a series of important varieties of cheese. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Designed as a reference for the student and home cheese-maker, Charles Thom and Walter Fisk's 1918 book is intended to interpret the process of making and handling a variety of cheeses that are either made commercially or widely imported in America.

Making cheese at home is one of the joys of a self-sufficient lifestyle, along with gardening, canning, and raising chickens. Author Janet Hurst is a twenty-year-veteran home cheesemaker, who shows you how to easily craft your own cheddar, feta, chèvre, mozzarella, and 50 more cheeses. Included are profiles of 20 artisan cheesemakers—from Cypress Grove, Vermont Butter and Cheese, Shelburne Farms, Does Leap, Pure Luck, and more—and their favorite recipes.

Presents 345 cheesemakers in the United States, with each profile describing the cheesemaker and its history, cheeses, location, and availability.

But then, this book is going to tell you all about the tips and techniques with which you can eat healthy, with just some egg and cheese dishes added to your healthy diet. Also, a friend of mine was browsing through some of my books, and she just told me, “all these books are very interesting, but I am often based in places where I do not get these exotic herbs and spices easily. Also, sometimes my budget does not run into buying plenty of fruit and vegetables especially in these inaccessible places. At that time my larder is often restricted to just eggs and cheese.” So I started to think. Yes, what she said was sensible, and logical, because most of the time, I find myself eating egg and cheese, one because I like it, and two, because those are the items which are in the larder at the end of the month after a whole month of hectic spending and paying off the bills! This book is for all those people, who want to know about healthy eating, especially using eggs and cheese and their combinations. These recipes are time-tested, and time-honored and have been used since ancient times all over the world, because “hen fruit” and cheese have been part and parcel of human life and the social fabric all over the world.
