If you would just like to serve a nice
cheese tray and are looking for some good descriptions pick up a
copy of
French Cheeses:
The Visual Guide to More Than 350 Cheeses from Every Region of France
by Joel Robuchon. This book will have you salivating in no time.
The photographs (of every cheese) is the most amazing part of the
book, but the descriptions, which include region, milk type, essential
facts and detailed aroma and taste guide make this book a must have
for the cheese lover or anyone who plans to eat their way through
France. May I suggest you start with the double and triple cream
sections, they are my favorites. |

If you are looking for more appetizers to make for your festive
holiday party you need look no further than
Martha Stewart's
Hors D'Oeuvres Handbook by Martha Stewart and Susan
Spungen, There has been much written about Martha in the press
over the past year, but that will all be forgotten when you get
lost in this amazing book on Hors D'Oeuvres. The book starts out
with an entire section of more than 300 color photographs all
cross-referenced to the recipes. Then continues on with 10 great
chapters that start with “Building Blocks for the Best Hors
D’Oeuvers” and ends with “Classics.” This
is the book you want if you are throwing any party over the holidays.
