What The Reviewers Say

Amy Scribner,
BookPage
Warning: Reading this book will make you very, very hungry.
Dawn Lowe-Wincentsen,
Library Journal
An entertaining book for cheese lovers, food enthusiasts, and those looking for a fun read. Much like a good ricotta, it is light and airy with a hint of sweetness..

Publishers Weekly
... cheese has always provided a healthy environment for low comedy, and Berkowitz cannot resist flavoring his authoritative knowledge with playful turns of phrase.
