 Cheesey Review April 21, 2008
S. J. Roldan (Los Angeles, CA United States)
This book is really informative. I work in a gastropub where we use only local or regional american cheeses and this really covered all bases. Help to keep us informed as well as the front of the house. Some of our guest really know there cheeses so its nice to have this book to make answering their questions more accurate.
A highly recommended atlas no serious culinary collection should be without. February 7, 2008
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Any general interest lending collection or college-level culinary library strong in cheese history will find this a 'must', representing the first reference of its kind to use an illustrated atlas format to document artisan cheeses, cheesemakers, and more. A regional and statewide organization makes it easy to locate artisans in specific states, an important feature in a title which profiles over three hundred tiny cheesemaking operations across the nation, while color photos accompany in-depth descriptions of operations including all the contact details needed to get in touch with boutique operations and owners. A highly recommended atlas no serious culinary collection should be without.

Agreed that this is an excellent resource for locating U.S. artisan cheesemakers and their cheeses. It is relatively comprehensive and well organized. However, some of the information is inaccurate because entries were not reviewed by the cheese producers before publication. Also readers should be aware that the producers created their own product descriptions so they aren't exactly unbiased.

This book is an excellent collection of places where talented American cheesemakers are conducting new steps for artisanal cheeses. It could be used for planning trips which include stops for tasty cheeses. It is also possible to obtain mail order information for having cheese sent to one's home. Anyone who loves to taste and experience varieties of cheese will love this book and use it to increase their dining experience.
