Meet Madame Fromage, aka Tenaya Darlington. A charming, witty,
deeply knowledgeable and, above all, passionate caseophile-a fancy
way of saying cheese lover-she's here to teach us pretty much
everything we need to know about choosing cheese, tasting it,
pairing it, and sharing it. Structured around the concept of eight
tasting journeys, Madame Fromage takes us on tours through the
cheese world. We skydive into fresh cheeses, like chevres, ricotta,
and buffalo mozzarella. Trek through the Alpines, with its
Emmentalers and Gruyeres. Go spelunking into stinky cheeses like
Taleggio, Pont-l'Eveque, and the rank Langres. Take a geological
adventure with aged cheeses, including Parmigiano Reggiano and
Manchego, and hop on a blue cheese rock 'n' roll tour-with their
piercings and weird markings, these funky gorgonzolas, Roqueforts,
and Stiltons are the rock stars of the cheese world. They also pair
well with bourbon and elevate a burger, not to mention a wedge
salad. Along the way we learn about pasture-raised animals, spend
time with fearless cheesemakers, discover tips on creating
next-level boards for every style of cheese. And find a bucket-list
of 25 greats readers will want to tick off, one by one. For any
curd nerd whose eyes light up at the mere mention of triple crème,
it's a journey that can't be missed.
