Remember the nut-covered, pink-colored cheese balls served at grandma’s house for the holidays? Well, these are not your grandma’s cheese balls. Updated for contemporary tastes, Michelle Buffardi’s cheese balls come in both savory and sweet flavors, like cheddar, blue cheese, and Buffalo wing sauce, or Bing cherry, rum, and pecan. And cheese balls are just part of the story. Many of the recipes, photographed in gorgeous full color, are in adorable shapes for all kinds of occasions, such as an Easter egg, Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas ornament, or a football for a Super Bowl party. Other designs are just plain fun, like the Nacho Cat, a Wise and Cheesy Owl, or one that looks like a pizza fresh from the oven. There is so much interest in bringing old-fashioned foods back into style, and this is no exception. Perfect for food lovers with crafty flair or anyone who loves to entertain, this book, with more than fifty inventive recipes and designs, is sure to be turned to again and again.

Cheese Balls and Beyond!!!

This book gives a whole new life to cheese balls. My seven year old granddaughter and I can't wait to make these sculpture cheese balls for every occasion, beginning with the turkey for Thanksgiving. I was especially pleased to see the dessert designs made with cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and all kinds of yummy concoctions. These recipes and ideas will be great family fun!

I make a cheese and this is a totally inspirational book! I always have extra cream cheese running around and the sweet and savory ideas here are playful and entertaining. I have been inspired. The rum Cherry log is very tasty and the Mexican being bowl went over well at our party. I've done about half of the recipes in the book and all of them delivered. I don't always make mine as cute as what is in the book! That's a whole other talent. I just make cheese.

Super fun recipes and shape ideas for parties! And just a fun title to have on my cookbook shelf 😊

This is such a fantastic book! The directions are easy to follow and the pictures in the book are beautiful! My four year old helped me make our first cheese ball, the Nacho Cat, and we're hooked! It was a fun activity for the two of us to do together and she loved decorating the cat. To top it all off, the cheese ball was delicious! I highly recommend this book! It's recipes are great to make for yourself and easy enough to make for a party without worrying if it will look like the picture in the book. Whichever you decide to make, I'm sure it will be a crowd pleaser!

Great for cooking with kids!

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2013

This is such a cute cookbook. Tons of recipes, great pictures, lots of fun! I made the turkey cheese ball to bring to Thanksgiving dinner and it was a huge hit. The kids helped me decorate it and they had a blast. They have already picked out the cheese ball that we're going to make for Christmas. The best part of this book is that everything looks really fancy and impressive but the recipes are pretty easy (I'm not a Top Chef by any stretch of the imagination).

Love love love this book! From the clever title to the beautiful pictures it has just been a pleasure. Great ideas and easy instructions for fun party food. I had seen a recipe in Women's World magazine that led me to this book. I also bought one for my daughter for a gift :-)
