A Cheesemonger’s Compendium introduces 150 of the finest cheeses from across the British Isles. It is a perfect companion for all of us hooked by Ned Palmer’s acclaimed Cheesemonger’s History. Each cheese on Palmer’s cheeseboard is accompanied by a morsel of history or a dash of folklore, a description of its flavours, and an enticing illustration. Palmer encompasses stories of eccentric and colourful cheesemakers and celebrates both traditional farmhouse and modern artisanal cheeses in his book. He explains how to buy your cheese like a monger, how to cut and store it, and how best to match it with drinks.
