Description

Morgan is the Queen of Cheese - Simon Rimmer, Sunday BrunchEach board is a piece of art - Jose Pizzaro Learn everything you need to know about creating the perfect cheese pairing. By matching great cheese with the perfect cracker, a stunning chutney, perfectly ripe fruit or veg, and very often a great wine, the results can be both delicious and rewarding. This book does all that and more, combining easy-to-follow and beautiful boards alongside recipes that feature a variety of cheese selections. The main concept behind cheese pairings is that certain elements (such as texture and flavour) in both the cheese and the pairing react differently to each other, and finding the right combination of these elements elevates the entire dining experience. In The Complete Cheese Pairing Cookbook, Morgan McGlynn brings together her years of expertise and knowledge to guide you through this process, with fascinating insights into what cheese pairing actually is, what makes cheese cheesy, and how to pair like a pro. Her carefully curated pairing boards contain both classic and unusual combinations, cheeses from around the world and a guide to which cheeses work best in each season. The recipes, both sweet and savoury, cover a range of occasions from solo eating through to casual suppers and dinner parties. This book is a must-have for any cheese lover looking to explore a new culinary world.
