If you ever wondered how cheese was invented and where, and when, and even why then Cheese is the book for you. Until now there has been no global history of cheese: here it is at last, succinct, authoritative with the fallacies removed. Packed with entertaining cheese facts, anecdotes and images, Cheese also features a selection of authentic recipes, from a two-thousand-year-old junket to an eighteenth-century Welsh rarebit.
