Book Reviews of Cheese: A Connoisseur's Guide to the World's BestBook Review: Great book for Cheese lovers Summary: 5 StarsGreat cheese reference guide. Not a complete encyclopedia (check out the world encyclopedia of cheese) but a great recommendation of the personal top 200 cheeses by a well known specialist in the field.
Well worth it.
Book Review: Good book Summary: 3 StarsThis is a very informative book but if you have any eye trouble the gray print makes it hard to read.
Book Review: Great reference for the cheese snob in your life :) Summary: 5 StarsMy wife bought me this book for Christmas and I couldn't be happier. From the wonderful descriptions and histories to the expectations from each cheese, I am in 7th heaven. For anyone looking to expand their cheese knowledge, I highly recommend this book.
Book Review: Good Reference Summary: 4 StarsThis my second cheese book. My first one, "Cheese Primer" didn't list many of the cheeses our local gourmet store carries. This does, and then some. I don't always agree with his ratings, but the descriptions are accurate. Best read if you already know something about cheese and want to expand your horizons.
Book Review: Cheese Maven's Choice Summary: 5 StarsCheese is not only my profession, it is my passion. I have a large collection of books about cheese. "Cheese: A Connoisseur's Guide to the World's Best" is an excellent reference, and the perfect complement to McCalman's "The Cheese Plate." Although less comprehensive than the classic "Cheese Primer" by Steven Jenkins, I find McCalman's guide, with its luscious photos, truely a "connoisseur's guide" rather than an encyclopedia. Unfortunately, the majority of the world-class cheeses that McCalman so beautifully depicts and describes, are not widely available throughout the US. What a shame!
