The main concept behind cheese pairings is how certain elements in a cheese and any chosen accompaniment react differently to each other.
The Complete Cheese Pairing Cookbook demonstrates that by matching a mouthwatering cheese with the perfect cracker, a stunning 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' written by 'The Queen of Cheese' 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.
Morgan 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.”
The Complete Cheese Pairing Cookbook is a must-have for any cheese lover looking to expand their repertoire and elevate an entire dining experience and is the only cheese guide you'll ever need for entertaining friends, family, guests, colleagues, and yourself!
