A former Royal Warrant Holder as cheesemonger to The Queen and The Prince of Wales, Arthur Cunynghame guides you through a virtual tasting tour of cheese fdairies and vineyards, with the insight provided by his 30 years' experience as a cheesemonger and wine merchant. The book is an eclectic mix of delightful anecdotes, and helpful information, based around a personal selection of twelve of the finest cheeses, and the people who make them, matched with twelve memorable wines; and much more.
Well written and charming. The Independent His writing is calm, measured, gently ruminative but always very well-informed. A measured pace and whimsical eye. Reminiscent of the early books by James Herriot. Foodepedia Utterly absorbing. Fresh Magazine This title could do for cheese what Kevin McCloud has done for adventurous architecture. Restaurant Guide.com A vivid insight. The Oxford Times A treasure trove of information. A really excellent read. Claire Hogg This book should have wide appeal. A volume that informs and charms.
