Much more than just another book about cheese, Composing the Cheese Plate is the first cookbook on the market to specifically focus on cheese and condiment pairings for the at-home chef. It is a complete introduction to everything you need to know about designing and plating your own cheese boards including information about the five main cheese types, what different regions cheeses come from, what cheeses are in season when, cheeses that pair well together, and how to properly store your cheese.
This cookbook also includes 70 recipes for homemade condiments including Bacon Molasses, Balsamic Rosemary Chutney, Sweet and Sour Lotus Root, and dozens more sauces, chutneys, pestos, and mustards to serve with your cheese. Scattered throughout are 30 to 40 photos of beautiful cheeses and cheese plates on slate, wood, marble, and more.
