The Best Cheese Book out
If you are a lover of French Cheeses, this book must be in your library. It's terrific!

Pictures you can taste
I've been interested in cheeses for some time, but the usual guides and atlases are every bit as bland as the cheeses are exciting. This Eyewitness Companion is different. The photography is so mouthwateringly realistic you can almost taste it. The descriptions of the cheeses, production methods and even the recommended wine accompaniments are very helpful. If there is a small downside, and invariably there is, it would be that the cheeses are presented alphabetically, whereas I'd like to see a regional compilation too, which would be helpful to travelling tasters.

Whiffing good book
Excellent, well researched book. If you want a thorough guide to French cheese, this guide is for you. Bought several copies for our friends
