Cheese crackers!
Find your inner fromager and pair like a pro
with The Complete Cheese Pairing Cookbook
by Morgan McGlynn Carr.
This 'cookbook' is a complete
guide to creating delectable
cheese pairings. The main
concept behind cheese
pairings is how certain elements
in a cheese and any chosen
accompaniment react to each
other. The cookbook demonstrates
that by matching a cheese with the
perfect cracker, a tasty chutney,
the right fruit or charcuterie, an
exceptional wine, or any other
beverage - the results can be
extremely rewarding.
This sumptuous and detailed
'cheese bible' is written by 'The Queen
of Cheese' and includes fascinating
insights and flavours from around
the world, seasonal pairing guides,
carefully curated pairing boards with
both classic and unique combinations,
and a range of delicious cheese-based
recipes suitable for all occasions.
McGlynn Carr is a leading cheese
expert and owner of Cheeses of
Muswell Hill, an award-winning
independent cheese shop in North
London. She is also the resident
Cheese Expert on Channel 4's
Sunday Brunch show and a top
judge at the World Cheese Awards.
Having the shop since the age of 21,
she was Britain's youngest female
cheesemonger and has spent the
subsequent years traveling the
UK and the world, working with
celebrated mongers and makers
and learning to make, mature and
sell cheese professionally. She is
also a cheese consultant for leading
retailers and the author of two
other highly acclaimed books, The
Modern Cheesemaker and The Modern
Cheeseboard.
Coupled up
The Complete Cheese Pairing
Cookbook is a shoe-in for any cheese
lover and is the only cheese guide
you'll ever need for entertaining
friends, family, guests, colleagues
- and yourself! McGlynn Carr says:
"If you're anything like me, being
presented with a plate of delicious
cheeses is simply an invitation to
dive in, no questions asked. However,
it's time to hold back: learning how
to taste cheese properly, so that
you can decipher all the layers that
make it taste so good, will help you
make great choices when it comes to
pairing. Mastering the art of tasting
cheese in a structured way gives you
a deeper appreciation of the cheese
and a confident understanding of
what other morsel of deliciousness
might best go with it."
