T. A. Layton

* Netgalley ARC for review

Like many other reviewers have said before me, I was entirely unprepared for how well researched and how deeply detailed this author could make a book on cheese. Completely unaware of a large number of places that produced cheese and even one or two I was amazed to find didn't produce cheese that I totally thought had been.

The research, the map, the vast extensiveness and the amazing recipes make this one a clear winner for any cheese lover.

Encyclopedic manual covering cheese international, great to use as a cheese reference, and also very enjoyable to browse.


I would recommend this for all cheese-heads, foodies and home-chefs!

If you love cheese you'll love this book!
Everything you wanted to know about cheese, from its origins, how the different types and flavours were first developed and cheese from around the world.
The recipes are scrumptious, but it's best to read this when not hungry!
I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Dover Publications via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review which I am very happy to do.

150. Layton attempted to recreate for his friends a medieval banquet held in London in 1356, attended by King Edward III and four other kings. This is his account of the dinner.
