It’s true—all those processed cheeses have us thinking that cheese is little more than Velveeta, singles, cheddar, mozzarella, and maybe some Swiss. But there’s just so much more! A Passion for Cheese is a good cookbook if you can find it (I believe it’s out of print now, unfortunately). I’m also going to be reviewing a copy of Lenny Rice and Brigid Callinan’s “Fondue” soon, and it’s almost entirely composed of cheese fondue recipes that use a wide variety of cheeses.

Just last night I was looking at recipes that had cheeses with which I was not familiar, thinking that cheese is more interesting than I realized.

Dawn: Oh yes, it’s a marvelous foodie book! The reason I mentioned the editing was that the problems were enough to obscure text meaning in a couple of places, which is where I tend to draw the line between “eh, it’s a few typos” and “okay, that matters to the book.”

Thomma: I love your blog’s style. And thanks for dropping by!

Sounds like a great “foodie” book.

And “Could have used another round of editing”. Well, couldn’t they all! It doesn’t sound as if it spoilt the book too much.
