The Cheese and the Wormsby: Carlo Ginzburg April 01, 1991 Search: cheese |
||
|
Italian historian Carlo Ginzburg traces the story of one Menocchio, a peasant from northern Italy who was put on trial (and eventually burned at the stake) for heresy by the Italian inquisition in the 16th century. He puts forwards parts of the transcription of the trial, and we realize that Menocchio has some quite heterodox (and not totally consistent) views on theology and cosmology, suggesting a number of eclectic sources for his ideas. For example, he viewed the Earth as a sort of giant cheese and the angels as worms coming out of the cheese (hence the book's title). How an Italian peasant, without presumably much access to books, would get such views, Ginzburg asks. He traces the bookshelves of Menocchio, but he is unable to come up with ... Read More:

This is a simple easy to read guide for those who just want to find out the essentials from each country. This book covers a wide range from several countries and gives a good feel for both wines and cheses you could try to experience to give a flavour for the styles produced in the various regions. This may not be described as a specialist guide but is an in in-depth starting point worth the money and looks good on the shelf too!

Vile France: Fear, Duplicity, Cowardice and Cheeseby: D. Boyles March 25, 2005 Search: cheese |

This book is a 365-page rant. Some rants are funny and amongst the rant is a lot of truth (eg. Michael Moore). Boyles book is not remotely funny nor truthful. He claims to live in France and attests (Ch 1) to the help and kindness he got from French neighbours when he lost his kids. After that it's all hate and vilification.
So where is he coming from? The loose cover is very revealing. Three commendations - all three of whom are well-known Neo-cons in the US. Boyle himself writes for National Review, as do his three reviewers. Virtually every person quoted approvingly in the book are right-wing - Rumsfeld, Freith, the two Kristals, Roger Kimball. The book was published in 2005 - oh, how times and events have changed since then! Read More: >>More Details |

True Brits: A Tour of Great Britain in All Its Bog-Snorkelling, Shin-Kicking, and Cheese-Rolling Gloryby: J. R. Daeschner March 30, 2005 Search: cheese |

This is an extremely entertaining guide to the quirky pastimes and activities that make Britain such a unique country. I'm a little surprised to find that the author has overlooked a few popular events, however. American tourists flock to the dwarf-shaving contests in Yarmouth every summer. Also, surely the 'National Otter-chucking Championship' deserves a mention for putting Bath on the map? Still, a highly recommended guide-book to the true glories of British culture.

Thanks to this book, I have made several cheeses including Queso Blanco, Jalapeno Cheddar, Sage Swiss and even have a Danish Blue cheese aging right now. The book is an easy read and has very explicit step-by-step instructions. Highly recommended.
