Buy this before it goes out of print! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I have owned this book for years. It is completely reliable, the recipes are pretty simple, and the results are outstanding. I have had failures with other expert books such as the Pie or the Cake Bibles; Rosie's book has never let me down. This is not aimed at diet-conscious bakers or consumers. But when you want to wow someone with flavor and authenticity, when it's time for a splurge, when you want to bake something that tastes like baked goods used to taste, you can turn to this book with confidence.

Yum! Yum! Yum! 5 out of 5 stars.

If you love decadent desserts and baked goods this is the cookbook for you. Rosie (a.k.a. Judy Rosenburg)knows her sweets and really has a way of teaching you how to prepare these wonderful recipes. She is passionate about what she does and it is reflected in this cookbook. Highly recommended.

Editorial Review:

It's the full menu of the nationally celebrated Boston-based Rosie's Bakery, presented by a trusted, knowledgeable, easy-going guide whose goal is to demystify baking. Winner of a 1991 IACP/Julia Child Cookbook Award. Illustrations throughout.

The complete resource to fun and easy fondue cooking -- an ideal entertaining guide.

Fondue is the ideal way for enjoying the company of family and friends at a meal where everyone cooks. Featuring a limitless variety of ingredients, flavors and cooking styles, fondue dishes are amazingly easy to prepare.

There's a whole new world beyond the familiar cheese and chocolate fondues. Consider the following:

• Hot oil fondues such as ginger beef fondue, zesty lime chicken, or tempura cauliflower
• Savory broth fondues like Mongolian hot pot, honey garlic chicken fondue, or Thai pork fondue in lemongrass broth.

For traditional recipes with a new spin or two:

• Emmentaler fondue with caramelized shallots
• Cheddar cheese and beer fondue
• Decadent finishers like bittersweet chocolate fondue, white chocolate and toffee, or cherries jubilee fondue.

Ilana Simon includes dozens of dips and sauces specially designed to complement the 200 recipes in this book. Her menu-planning suggestions, guide to using and maintaining different types of fondue pots, and tips and techniques will turn a fondue meal into an event to remember.

Editorial Review:

Cheese and wine were clearly meant for each other. Most of us have tasted the classic combinations--cheddar and port, blue cheese and Sauternes, goat cheese and Sauvignon Blanc - and know what an ethereal marriage of flavors and textures they are. But as Laura Werlin shows in her new book, The All American Cheese and Wine Book, there is a whole world of wine and cheese pairings beyond these tried and true favorites. In her follow-up to the IACP Award-winning The New American Cheese, Werlin guides us to matching the extraordinary artisan cheeses being made across America with perfectly paired wines. Her story begins with an overview of the seven basic styles of cheese, from fresh, tangy chevre to buttery soft-ripened cheese to nutty, aged gouda. She explains how each is made, what flavor qualities each has, and what types of wines will generally bring out he best in each category of cheese. She offers the same kind of overview for American wines, paying particular attention to those produced by the smaller boutique wineries. Guidelines for combining American cheese and wine, clues for making the perfect pairs, and extensive charts showing the ideal combinations at a glance make this book an indispensable resource. The book also includes profiles of 50 American cheesemakers and winemakers and 55 delectable recipes for dishes that use cheese or feature cheese by itself. Werlin has organized the recipes with entertaining in mind and offers creative ideas for hors d'ouvres, pizzas, cheese plates, picnics, and desserts. The book also includes an extensive listing of cheesemakers and winemakers around the country with mail order information.

An okay book 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

First of all I know nothing about cheese.
This is my first cheese book I have looked at. With that being said here's my review:

This book has some good points: 1) a dictionary of specialized cheese lingo in the back which gives pretty good descriptions of the vocabulary used in cheese making. 2) it has many cheeses, and lots of pictures for a small book.And brief sections on: 3)which cheeses are best in which times of year and 4) how to read cheese labels 4) how to serve cheese/ pair with wine. It actualy covers a lot in such a small book. (even how to introduce cheese to children). It's written by an expert french cheese maker.

However, the book is translated from french and therefore suffers a bit in english. Sometimes it's a bit hard to understand what they are saying since it still carries the french way of speaking though using english words. That's just to warn you. Plus I was disappointed that it was so small in size... but it's cheap, and I guess easy to carry around if you need to refer to it at some cheese market. It's not a bad deal for the price and it's a fairly good introduction to a broad range of cheese topics.

Editorial Review:

An indispensable guide to selecting, tasting, and serving cheese—with 1,200 varieties classed by family and every entry rich in information. They come from around the world and range from Italian asiago to Spanish idiazabal (a ewe’s milk cheese), from Dutch Gouda to the increasingly rare French Grataron d’Arèches—a soft-pressed, washed-rind, goat’s milk cheese that’s made by only three producers. There are veined British stiltons, double and triple cream Brillat-Savarins, and smoky provolones. Plus, Roland Barthélmy, one of the most prestigious cheese specialists in France, reveals his 100 favorites.

How many times have you found yourself long on appetite and short on time? "Omelets and Frittatas" will give you plenty of ideas for those moments when hunger strikes and your cupboards are bare. Thanks to Jennie Shapter, you can make something delicious for any meal of the day or even a party with just some eggs and a couple of standby ingredients.

This is a great little book for anyone who loves smoothies (or haven't discovered their passion for them). The book is really cute as well, all black (of course), with a pink label that has the title...pretty chic. I got this in addition to the Little Black Book of Cocktails, which is so fun as well (there's also one for BBQ).

Editorial Review:

Long and Benson's 1896 work provides instruction on the manufacture of specific cheeses. The authors pay particular attention to gourmet cheese varieties that were more usually produced in Europe, including gorgonzola, camembert, and brie before turning their attention to the best methods for manufacturing traditional English cheeses such as Cheddar, Stilton, Cheshire, and Wensleydale.
