Fantastic Cookbook using WISCOSIN cheeses...Review by Gina J. Koston, 2009-06-03
I purchased this book to give as a give in a Kitchen Swap I was recently involved in. I wanted the person I was giving a gift basked to, to have a Wisconsin cookbook, as she collects cookbooks from every state she visits, and she's never been to Wisconsin yet. This book was perfect...the recipes use cheeses made in Wisconsin, and even include interesting facts and some pictures. I want to get one for myself now. And the recipes look fantastic in it!
Say Cheese!
Review by Elizabeth Nelson, 2008-04-05
This book is a must have for any one that loves cheese, cooking and the state of Wisconsin! Not only is this book filled with interesting history and facts about the making of cheese in America's Dairy Land, but the recipes are incredible. These recipes are easy to make and universally delicious. In fact, most recipes have fewer than 5 steps and are don't take that much time to prepare. The authors, Pam Percy and Martin Hintz, bring a great deal of mid-western charm and humor to the material and will remind you why you love cheese. This book is the first thing I pull out when I'm making a meal- whether it be breakfast or dinner- I'm now convinced cheese is the most world's most versatile food.
The Perfect Gift for Cheese Lovers
Review by V. Nelson, 2008-04-03
I finally found a book that's the perfect gift for all my friends and relatives. Not only is the book informative, but the recipes are phenomenal. I have tried at least 10 of the recipes, and all of them have been just great. As someone who spends a lot of time in France as well as Wisconsin, it's great to have a source for some unusual new cheese recipes, for any course, not just appetizers. This is a great book that has rapidly become an essential addition to my cook book collection.
Wisconsin has a long and distinguished history of cheese making
Review by Midwest Book Review, 2008-04-02
Long known as America's 'Dairy State', Wisconsin has a long and distinguished history of cheese making that includes such standards as cheddar, blue, and Swiss, as well as specialty cheeses. The collaborative work of dedicated Wisconsin cheese enthusiasts Martin Hintz and Pam Percy (who reside on five acres in suburban Milwaukee where they raise two Saanen dairy goats, raise vegetables, chicken and quality, in addition to writing books and articles on travel, history, and food), "Wisconsin Cheese: A Cookbook And Guide To The Cheeses Of Wisconsin" is a 272-page celebration of Wisconsin's contribution to cheesemaking, including more than 100 thoroughly 'kitchen cook friendly' recipes showcasing the nutrition, flavors, and diversities of cheese. From Milk Chocolate Cheesecake; Wisconsin Cheddar Scones with Smoked Turkey; and Open-Faced Sandwich Layered with Wisconsin Baby Swiss, Eggplant, and Peppers; to Spinach Salad with Strawberries and Warm Goat Cheese Rounds; Morels and Eggs 'En Cocotte' with Parmesan Cheese; and Corn-Stuffed Tomatoes with Wisconsin Muenster Cheese, "Wisconsin Cheese" is a series of culinary celebrations that will satisfy any appetite and please any palate. Of special note is the section devoted to 'The Great Wisconsin Cheeseburger' (especially the recipe for Wisconsin Turkey Pizza Burger!). Enhanced with black-and-white photography and historical info bits about Wisconsin cheesemakers, "Wisconsin Cheese" is a welcome and enthusiastically recommended addition to Wisconsin community library cookbook collections in general, and cheese lover culinary reference shelves in particular!
Finally, a Cheese Head's Cheese book!
Review by B. Jones, 2008-03-21
This book is terrific! The recipes I've tried so far are delightful. What I especially like is that it has such a wide variety of different ideas from appetizers to main courses to desserts all involving real Wisconsin Cheeses! I'm from Wisconsin so it is good to see a book that promotes cheese from the one and only Cheese Head capital of the world! The price is great and the recipes are easy enough to understand. Keep up the good work!
