Since then she has become the country’s leading expert on cheese, from working the counter at New York’s famed Murray’s Cheese and later expanding Murray’s wholesale business as vice president, to designing cheese menus for the country’s best restaurants, to authoring The Cheese Chronicles. Now, as founder of The People’s Cheese, Liz teaches a broader market why cheese matters and how to make it part of everyday life. The Book of Cheese: The Essential Guide to Discovering Cheeses You'll Love (Flatiron Books) is her latest book. This is the first book of its kind to be organized not by country, milk type, or any other technical classification.

Complete with flavor and aroma wheels, charts guiding you through different intensities and availabilities, and gorgeous photography, this is the only book on cheese you will ever need. Patrick Alexander (Alexander, Patrick) Patrick Alexander originally developed the Wine Appreciation Program when he worked at the University of Miami.

With the publication of The Booklovers' Guide To Wine: A Celebration of the History, the Mysteries and the Literary Pleasures of Drinking Wine (Mango), with a foreword by Mitchell Kaplan, everyone can experience what Patrick's students have come to love and appreciate about great wines and great writers. A literary twist on traditional food and wine pairings, this book explores how great wines and great writers can be combined to enhance the enjoyment of both. This fact-filled, jargon free guide to wine, bursting with entertaining anecdotes, literary quotes and compelling humor will teach you everything you always wanted to learn about wine but were too scared to ask.
