Cheese: Quick and Easy Recipes for Elegant Entertaining

by Lou Seibert Pappas

Nestled between slices of fresh bread, baked into a souffle, sprinkled atop pasta, or accompanied by a glass of wine and sliver of fruit, cheese is as perfect for entertaining as it is for everyday snacks and meals. Cheese includes a host of delectable recipes and menu suggestions featuring such international favorites as Parmesan, Gorgonzola, Edam, Cheddar, Gouda, Brie, and more.
Short descriptions of two dozen varieties of cheeses and suggested pairings with wines, fruits, and breads, as well as three dozen quick and easy recipes for cheese appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, and desserts, will help make your next family meal or social gathering a delicious success. Enjoy a French Onion Soup baked to golden brown perfection with melted Jarlsberg. Savor a tasty sandwich of Grilled Eggplant with Mozzarella or of tangy Monterey Jack with Chutney and Prosciutto. Or serve a classic Greek Seafood Casserole of Shrimp and Feta as a delightful light supper followed by a luscious Coeur a la Creme with Raspberries for a tantalizing dessert.
Illustrated with charming watercolors, Cheese is an elegant and compact guide to a tasty and versatile food - and it makes the perfect gift.
