Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Too detailed...not for the amateur.
This book covers a lot about cheese, it is certainly for the dedicated cheese connoisseur and not the amateur. There were 6 different assorted cheese tastings (similar to wine tastings). Each tasting had 6-7 different cheeses on each plate. Out of the 42 cheeses listed I could only find 4 of them. These were specialty cheeses that you'd have to actually purchase online or a cheese store. I live in the mid-west and we don't have such stores. I also wouldn't spend the money to, it was just too high brow for me.

The cheeses listed were Perail, Durrus, Isores, Taleggio, Cedar, Valencay, Coolea, Llangloffan, Monte Enebro, and Reblochon just to name a few. Perhaps see if you can find at your cheese store before purchasing this book. It wouldn't do you much good to have the book and then not be able to purchase the specific cheeses mentioned for all the tastings.

The author considers American cheddar an abomination and says the only real cheddar is Keen, Montgomery or Reade's.

HTH. The book itself has high gloss pages, good pictures, 232 pages. The print is brown text on white pages so some might have trouble reading it.





Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Mad Max....
I really am not sure what I was looking for from this book, but I didn't find it. I guess I was looking for a book to give me a full spectrum view of fine cheeses (I don't have any fine cheese experience). Max certainly goes over the entire spectrum of cheeses, however his seriousness and dedication to cheese gets in the way from being able to communicate with a cheese amature like myself. Overall, the book had too much detail and although I wanted to learn about cheese, the book couldn't hold me attention and I didn't get me the education I was looking for.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best Yet
I am a relative newcomer to the world of cheese. While I have read several books on cheese, this is - by far - the best introduction and guide to the world of cheese that I have found. Thank you!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The nice and useful book
Every cheeselover must have this book. This is not the standard cheese encyclopedia and cookbook. Max wrote it with the passion and full involvement into his great job.
