I adore this book.' -- Jose Pizarro
'A scrumptious guidebook to cheeses and how to pump up the happiness factor in eating by using cheese to compliment food and drink. McGlynn Carr who runs the award-winning Muswell Hill Cheese Shop in London, has established herself as a Big Fromage in her field. Her clever cookbook is a well-written, beautifully photographed testament to her passion. It deserves a place on any self-respecting foodie’s bookshelf.' -- John Lahr

People can be intimidated by different cheeses sometimes but the range and what you pair them with is so broad that all they need is someone with that knowledge and passion to shepherd them in the right way and open their eyes to it, which is exactly what this book will do. I think it’s amazing.' -- Chef Tom Brown
'Morgan is one of my favourite cheese heroes! If you want to be the ‘cheese boss’ at you next dinner party, Morgan’s books are the perfect weapon to have in your arsenal…what Morgan doesn’t know about cheese, frankly isn’t worth knowing!!!' -- James Golding, Former Group Chef Director of The Pig Hotel

And now that you’re more familiar with it, she will further enhance your enjoyment by delving deep into the realm of pairings (be it with nuts or drinks or fruit or charcuterie) giving you endless opportunities to experiment with. Long gone are the days of boring and uninspired grazing boards thanks to this tremendous tome!!’ -- Dhruv Baker, BBC MasterChef Winner 2010
