Selected by HOT DINNERS for BEST NEW COOKBOOKS 2023

Cheese is not just a food, it's a way of life!

Divided into Grill, Melt, Bake, Grate and Slice, The Cheese Life celebrates the new wave of artisan cheeses sweeping the globe with gloriously gooey recipes and inventive cheeseboards. The book offers insights into how cheese is made, killer drinks matches, and interviews with the people working on the front line.

From how to make the ultimate fondue to the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, the recipes include feta and tomato tart, five cheese macaroni, smoked mozzarella sticks, and cheeseboard accompaniments such as bacon jam and poached pears. Interspersed throughout are deep dives into key cheese varieties, from brie to blue, and wedges of cheesy wisdom, such as how to taste like a professional and when to eat the rind.

Most of all, it's a book about having fun and enjoying good cheese from people who genuinely care about what they do.
