2006 James Beard Award Winner! Max McCalman is America’s foremost expert on the world’s finest cheeses: he created the first European-style cheese program in the country at the restaurant Picholine in New York; he planned the cheese program at Artisanal, the first restaurant devoted to cheese; and he consulted on the opening of the first American cheese center, the Artisanal Cheese Center. Max’s first book, The Cheese Plate, was about cheese-making and history, about constructing a cheese plate and pairing cheeses. This new book is about a far more universal and accessible subject: the cheeses themselves. Cheese is the first book to address current readers’ real needs: an up-to-date guide to the best–and only the best–cheeses in the world, with strength and quality ratings (like a wine-buying guide), a color photograph of each, authoritative information on the cheese’s profile, and the ground breaking contribution of the best wines to serve with every cheese. All wrapped up in a beautiful hardcover, Cheese is the definitive reference on the subject.
