In this updated and expanded second edition that the reader can carry to the store with them, Guidi adds 38 new cheeses and shares more about the pioneers who create new cheeses, their
inspiration and their roots. She discusses 31 traditional European cheeses in addition to many others offered along with the Canadian cheese. There are pairing suggestions for beer and wine,
and the ladder of cheese appreciation has been expanded. She notes a sub-theme that links New World Canadian cheese to Old World “heirloom” cheese varieties. Each chapter begins with “all you
need to know” and ends with “tasting notes”. Eight chapters are: fresh unripened cheese; soft ripened cheese; semi-soft/semi-firm cheese; washed rind cheese; firm cheese; hard cheese; blue
cheese; goat cheese. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
