Founder of the Mozzarella Company, a specialty-cheese store, and author of The Cheese Lover's Cookbook and Guide, Paula Lambert is ideally suited to offer attractive cheese recipes. In Cheese, Glorious Cheese, she does just that, providing over 75 recipes, such as Mushroom Soup with Gruyère Crust; Pork Tenderloin with Smoked Cheddar-Tortilla Stuffing; and Spinach Risotto Mold with Pecorino Romano. Though global in scope and featuring cheese from countries worldwide, the recipes lean toward Italian and the American Southwest. There are occasional lapses, like a pasta dish that includes marinated provolone with Romano, pesto, and potatoes, and--for this reviewer's taste--a few too many recipes, like Baked Brie Bombay, in which cheeses that shouldn't be heated or liquefied are. That said, most of the formulas, which include those for desserts like Nutty Chocolate Cream Cheese Pie and Gingery Pear Cheesecake, are tasty and easy to do, and should be especially handy when it's time to entertain. --Arthur Boehm

Read the whole book on a short flight from Houston to Denver, and had to prepare the mashed potatoes with caramelized onions and Fontina cheese the same day. All recipes are wonderful, easy to prepare and stand out for any ocasion.

I met author Paula Lambert almost by accident while strolling the aisles of the January 2007 San Francisco Fancy Food Show at Moscone Convention Center. As owner of the Mozzarella Company in Dallas, TX she was there with her staff promoting their gourmet artisan cheeses and I spied her two books at the back of the booth. I bought them both on the spot, and only recently discovered that Cheese, Glorious Cheese! was a newly released effort.
Right away I dove into the recipes and I must say that I loved the easy to understand format. Right away I tried the noteworthy Eggplant Strata with herbed goat cheese recipe. It is great as either a side dish or for a vegetarian entrée.
Also of great interest to me are the broiled Zucchini Rolls with herbed ricotta and gruyere filling. I love growing my own zucchini, but what gardener doesn't suffer from an occasional over-production and this recipe is just the answer to a different way to use up all those abundant squash mid-summer brings!
There are so many more great sounding recipes I have yet to try out, such as Christiana's Lemon Risotto, a stir-free style described as "ancient" from her friend's native Piedmont region of Italy. And, since fresh Dungeness crab is still in season here in Moss Beach, California, I think I'll try the Crab-Avocado Tostadas with Queso Blanco next! I only wish there had been more photos, but instead the author left more room for the recipes.
