5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Gift for Cheese Lovers, April 3, 2008

By 

V. Nelson - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wisconsin Cheese: A Cookbook and Guide to the Cheeses of Wisconsin (Paperback)

I finally found a book that's the perfect gift for all my friends and relatives. Not only is the book informative, but the recipes are phenomenal. I have tried at least 10 of the recipes, and all of them have been just great. As someone who spends a lot of time in France as well as Wisconsin, it's great to have a source for some unusual new cheese recipes, for any course, not just appetizers. This is a great book that has rapidly become an essential addition to my cook book collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Say Cheese!, April 4, 2008

This review is from: Wisconsin Cheese: A Cookbook and Guide to the Cheeses of Wisconsin (Paperback)

This book is a must have for any one that loves cheese, cooking and the state of Wisconsin! Not only is this book filled with interesting history and facts about the making of cheese in America's Dairy Land, but the recipes are incredible. These recipes are easy to make and universally delicious. In fact, most recipes have fewer than 5 steps and are don't take that much time to prepare. The authors, Pam Percy and Martin Hintz, bring a great deal of mid-western charm and humor to the material and will remind you why you love cheese. This book is the first thing I pull out when I'm making a meal- whether it be breakfast or dinner- I'm now convinced cheese is the most world's most versatile food.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a Cheese Head's Cheese book!, March 21, 2008

By 

B. Jones - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wisconsin Cheese: A Cookbook and Guide to the Cheeses of Wisconsin (Paperback)

This book is terrific! The recipes I've tried so far are delightful. What I especially like is that it has such a wide variety of different ideas from appetizers to main courses to desserts all involving real Wisconsin Cheeses! I'm from Wisconsin so it is good to see a book that promotes cheese from the one and only Cheese Head capital of the world! The price is great and the recipes are easy enough to understand. Keep up the good work!
