This book is a poetic view of 30 of the best loved French cheeses with an additional two odes to cheese. Recipes, wine pairing, three short stories and an educational section complete the book.<br /><br />From a hectic life in New York City to the peace and glories of the French countryside lead me to be the co-founder of www.fromages.com. Ten years later with the words of Pierre Androuet hammering on my brain: <br /><br />“Cheese is the soul of the soil. It is the purest and most romantic link between humans and the earth.” <br /><br />I took pen and paper; many reams later with the midnight oil burning Tasting to Eternity was born and self published. <br /><br />I believe cheese and wine lovers should be told about this publication. <br /><br />EnjoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745807079015237745.post-74157044016056696732009-02-20T11:17:00.000+00:002009-02-20T11:17:00.000+00:00Sorry cheesewench - have been away (in Argentina -...Sorry cheesewench - have been away (in Argentina - not a great cheese destination) so only just picked this up. <BR/><BR/>I think I've noticed this particularly in the last 3-4 years and I guess it's a combination of factors: the growing influence of the supermarkets, the consolidation of the dairy industry and the fact that France has so many established cheeses there's not the incentive for new producers to break into the market - unlike the States, Ireland, Australia and here in the UK. That's not to say they don't still make great cheeses simply that it's harder to come by them.Fiona Becketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970779962455905201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745807079015237745.post-46817609088916869912009-02-16T13:47:00.000+00:002009-02-16T13:47:00.000+00:00Artisan Cheese has become more and more popular he...Artisan Cheese has become more and more popular here in the U.S.A., but it seems as though France is starting to become more industrialized in their cheese production. <BR/><BR/>When did you first notice this happening, and why do you think it's been allowed to occur?Cheesewenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10961403425126255784noreply@blogger.com
