Book Review: Madame Fromage’s Adventures in Cheese by Tenaya Darlington
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 stars
First off, love the cover on this book. It’s colorful, eye-catching, and fun. So on to my review…an entire book about cheese, sign me up! I love cheese in all forms. I love eating it. I love watching it be made. I just love cheese!
Madame Fromage’s Adventures in Cheese by Tenaya Darlington is a delightful and informative guide that takes readers on a journey through the world of cheese. With her charming and witty writing style, Darlington, also known as Madame Fromage, shares her deep knowledge and passion for all things cheese.
The book is structured around the concept of eight tasting journeys, allowing readers to explore various types of cheese and discover their unique flavors and characteristics. From fresh cheeses like chevres and buffalo mozzarella to stinky cheeses like Taleggio and Pont-l’Eveque, Madame Fromage covers a wide range of cheese varieties. The book also delves into aged cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano and Manchego, as well as the fascinating world of blue cheeses like gorgonzola, Roquefort, and Stilton.
One of the highlights of Madame Fromage’s Adventures in Cheese is the author’s ability to transport readers into the cheese world. Through her vivid descriptions, readers can almost taste the creamy textures and complex flavors of each cheese. The book also introduces readers to pasture-raised animals and fearless cheesemakers, providing a deeper understanding of the cheese-making process.
The visuals in this book are visually pleasing, with colorful graphics and fun fonts that add to the overall enjoyment. The “field guides” are particularly impressive, offering readers a wealth of information about different types of cheese, including their origins, flavor profiles, and suggested pairings.
As a cheese lover myself, I found this book to be a treasure trove of knowledge. It covers everything from the history of cheese to the ingredients used in its production. Whether you’re a seasoned cheese connoisseur or just starting your cheese journey, Madame Fromage’s Adventures in Cheese has something for everyone.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Madame Fromage’s Adventures in Cheese to any cheese enthusiast. With its engaging writing style, beautiful visuals, and comprehensive information, this book is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the art of cheese-making and wants to discover new flavors and pairings. So go ahead and indulge yourself in this cheesy adventure – you won’t be disappointed!
