Reviews for A Cheesemonger's Compendium of British & Irish Cheese

'A delightful and informative romp ... a fine Christmas present, along with a wedge of Sparkenhoe Red Leicester' - Bee Wilson 'His encounters with modern-day practitioners fizz with infectious delight' - John Walsh 'A beautifully textured tour around the cheeseboard' - Simon Garfield 'This is a very dangerous book. Read cheesemonger Ned Palmer's descriptions of the 158 British cheeses therein and you'll want to buy all of them ... very moreish' - Susan Swarbrick & Teddy Jamieson
