Paired with a bottle of wine this book is indispensable.
By kiwanissandy
If you love wine and cheese then this book is for you. The book does not give any wine pairing ideas, you'd have to find them on your own but what it does have is so a lot of delectable cheese dishes that they're begging for a bottle of wine.

This is a little book, 96 pages and not a full size book. There are only regarding 50 or so recipes but they are wow. The Brie Bites were phenom and the Parmesan and Shrimp Crostini were to die for. This book is surely dissimilar from The Cheese Plate which had 40+ cheeses I have never heard of and couldn't find at my local grocer. This book has cheeses that you may find in the cheese division of your grocery store. While that may seem plain once you dress them up with Ms. Harron's additions they become extraordinary.

There are not a good deal of pictures, the pages are shiny so they will clean up well. Would be a nice gift for a wedding shower given with a wheel of Brie, a cheese knife, cheese plate, etc. perhaps even a jar of olive tapenade.

If you want to give gifts there were recipes for Parmesan Biscotti that you could make and the book has presentment ideas included. The Spicy Ale Fondue was splendid for our Super Bowl party and I served it with salted pretzel sticks and I made a beer bread from Tastefully Simple to go along with it.

Overall the cookbook delivers on what it says.

Creative Cheese Appetizers
By Rita Marbury
Hallie Harron has provided fifty nice cheese recipes for easy agreeably diverting at cocktail party or quiet TGIF gathering. If you love good cheese, then this is unquestionably a book for you. Don't miss the Mini Swiss Pinwheels. Elegant yet simple, these treats rely on frozen puff pastry to create a lovely appetizer to freeze for emergency use when unexpected guests come by. Her Spicy Cheesy Totes also rely on puff pastry to develop a cute little "purse" full of melty, spicy cheese. They are the perfective foil for Margaritas on the terrace. With cheesy crostinis, beignets, tortes, and tarts, Harron provides recipes for fashionably cheesy little bites that will heighten any party.
