Like many travelers to Italy, Paula Lambert fell in love with the prisitne fresh mozzarella she tasted there. Upon her return, finding no comparable product in her native Texas, she decided to make her own. Thus, Mozzarella company was born, and with it, a passionate advocate of craft and quality cheese in America. In Paula Lambert's Cheese Lover's Cookbook & Guide, she shares a wide variety of recipes, that run the gamut from Southern to Latino, to Italian influences. From high-brow to low-cal, Paula shares her favorite vittles, like Cowboy Cheese Dip and more adventurous treats like Baked Gnocchi with Sage-Parmigiano Crust. Chapters cover brunch through dessert, including appetizers, salads, soups, pastas, vegetables, meats, and breads. In addition to recipes, though, this book is an informative guide that elucidates the history of cheese, provides nutritional information, and offers tips on how to buy, store, and serve cheese. For the truly ambitious, Lambert includes step-by-step instructions for making both fresh and aged cheese at home. For any cheese lover, this an indispensible and entertaining resource. A must-have!
