An enjoyable and educational romp through cheese and cheesemaking. The author imparts a lot of wisdom about all aspects of cheese, from the history of its production to the various types to interviews with different people working in the cheese industry at all levels. Although I do enjoy the whimsical art style, actual photos might be more helpful for newbies to correctly identify the different types of cheeses.

I really loved this book and will be buying it for my personal collection, as well as for the library. I think this is a great book for anyone who loves cheese!

Unfortunately, I didn't really have a good way to view this book since it wasn't kindle formatted, BUT I was able to take a look on the netgalley app on my phone. It looks like an interesting approach and format for a cheese manual and the art looked really adorable. I think it would be an awesome housewarming or hostess gift.

My life with cheese has been changed forever thanks to this book! My adventures in cheese are just beginning.

What in the world is a book about that is called Adventures in Cheese? Is this for real? This book will probably tell you more than you ever wanted to know about cheese. But you find as you read it that cheese is a much more interesting topic than you ever dreamed. Tenaya starts by telling you about her time in a cheese shop and how she discovers all the different types of cheese.

I thought that all cheese was made from cow's milk. There are detailed descriptions of the three sources of milk to make cheese; cows, goats and sheep. Tenaya teaches about how cheese is made and why we care. She taught me why I care if cheese is aged. You get a trip around the world in cheese and where the best cheese is made.

Then she spends time suggesting different ways to enjoy cheese and how to pair it with drinks and other food. The book includes information about where to buy cheese and how to order it and have it shipped to you. But the most important lesson I learned was how to store cheese. I had no idea. Everything I have been doing is not good for the cheese. My cheese will be much happier in the future.

There is more to life than great sharp cheddar cheese! Who Knew!

I love cheese and have yet to meet the one I don't enjoy. This is a fantastic guide on cheeses that are available in the US (even if you have to venture to some specialty shops), what to pair them with, and a good number of dips and small dishes to make with cheese. It's one of those books that would make a great addition to any coffee table and as soon as it hits the shelves I'll make sure to get a hardcopy.

I am a curd nerd. A Caseiophile. A Turophile. I crave cheese..but this book only made me hungry for cheese that I cannot get in Canada. I happen to love ZIngerman's in Ann Arbor and go there every time we are nearby but we have not been there since COVID hit.

This is a great guide if you live in the USA and can order these cheeses or even find them in the cave of your choice. It did have a lot of information that I could use in guiding me to the right cheese and to make the right cheese board but it is not hyper-specific-American for our collection. (Had I lived in the USA, it would have been 5 stars!)
