A fun and quirky guide to the essential rules for enjoying cheese, including tips on selecting and tasting different varieties, serving and pairing cheeses, as well as a brief history on cheese and a rundown of how cheeses are made.

This richly illustrated book from a lauded cheesemonger-perfect for all cheese fans, from newcomers to experts-teaches you how to make a stylish cheese platter, repurpose nibs and bits of leftover cheese into something delicious, and expand your cheese palette and taste cheeses properly.

Alongside the history and fundamentals of cheese-making, you'll even learn why cheese is actually good for you (and doesn't make you fat!), find enlightenment on the great dairy debate-pasteurized versus not pasteurized-and improve your cheese vocabulary with a handy lexicon chart.

About the Author

Industry Reviews

"Anne Saxelby is your trusted friend at the cheese counter, pointing you to a bolder, less familiar palate, nudging you away from the basic cheddar (which is not to say she doesn't wax poetic about those, too) towards, say, a grass-fed sheep's milk from North Carolina or a salt-cured feta from New Hampshire. The New Rules of Cheese will empower you to choose a more flavorful future, one that supports the small dairies and cheesemakers that further the diverse and resilient landscape we so desperately need."
Dan Barber, chef and co-owner of Blue Hill

"In The New Rules of Cheese, Anne shares her deep knowledge and enlightened philosophy in a way that makes cheese more accessible and fun at the turn of every page. This book will connect you with Anne's expertise and experience in a way that will have you exploring cheese, practically and intellectually, as well as learning how to serve it. More meaning in every morsel."
Mateo Kehler, co-founder and head cheesemaker of Jasper Hill Farm
