Anyone who is on the Charcuterie bandwagon and is entertaining with charcuterie boards will want to pick up The Complete Cheese Pairing Cookbook. This excellent cookbook is filled with great ideas for pairing cheeses to make beautiful and delicious boards.

One of the most helpful chapters in the book is a Cheese Flavor section that outlines the different flavors of nuances of different cheeses such as fresh, hard, washed rind, etc. This is good because those of us who aren’t experts on cheeses want to pair different flavors that go well together. The author covers charcuterie options, as well as vegetables, fruits, and types of crackers. The best part of the cookbook is that there are mouthwatering, unique recipes for accompaniments to the cheeses and meats that are included on a specific board.
There are jams and spreads, things like bruschettas, appetizers, and desserts that go well and taste good with the items on the boards. Those of us who don’t know enough about cheese, probably have never thought of pairing unique dishes with the delicious cheeses.

The recipes are written in the traditional manner, with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions to complete the dishes. There are also beautiful, professional photographs included that make it easy to assemble a beautiful and enticing board. Some of the recipes are seasonal, and some based on specific ingredients with flavors that go well with certain cheeses.

All told, this is an excellent choice to help us entertain with a beautiful board.
