Reviews
"In his informative book, Fromages, Dominique Bouchait explains French cheeses, dividing them into 'families,' according to how they're made, like cooked and uncooked or blue-veined. But what he says about the French varieties applies to cheeses from anywhere. Though Mr. Bouchait - a master cheesemaker based in southwest France - focuses on the 45 French cheeses that have government-controlled names, his broad scope includes types of milk, raw and pasteurized cheeses, ripening, storage, fat content, wine pairings (he prefers white) and 40 recipes." -NEW YORK TIMES
