One can almost smell, feel and taste this book! In the Netherlands we have a great tradition of making some of the worlds finest cheeses, but there is little of literary value for the amateur cheese maker. One would think that one could find much in the Netherlands but this is not so. Imagine my great pleasure then when I find this book. Now my cheese making will make much progression. I have also experience of that other most helpful book, Cheesemaking Made Easy by husband and wife team, Ricki and Robert Carroll. This too is a fine book. I highly recommend both to cheesemakers the world over. Remember, tasty cheese is not confined to the Netherlands!

I have been involved with cheese for a few years now. This book has allowed me to pass on Steven's knowledge and enthusiasm to my customers. Not so many British cheeses, but a great reference to the most popular cheeses in the world, from many different countries. I still find myself refering to it even today.
