The pairing book
The Complete Cheese Pairing Cookbook
The guide to what goes with what, and why. Pairing explained by a World Cheese Awards judge.
A good pairing can turn a decent cheese into a memorable one. This book shows you how to find it. It starts with the essentials, what cheese pairing is and what gives a cheese its character, then teaches you to pair like a professional: with crackers, chutneys, fruit, nuts, charcuterie, wine, beer and spirits.
From there it moves into pairing boards with classic and unexpected combinations, a seasonal pairing guide, recipes for every kind of occasion, and an A to Z of 200 cheeses from around the world, each with suggested pairings. It is organised both by cheese and by the ingredient you want to pair, so it works as well at the cheese counter as it does in the kitchen.
