Find your inner fromager and pair like a pro with this ultimate guide to creating delectable cheese pairings!

The main concept behind cheese pairings is how certain elements in a cheese and any chosen accompaniment react differently to each other.  The Complete Cheese Pairing Cookbook demonstrates that by matching a mouthwatering cheese with the perfect cracker, a stunning chutney, the right fruit or charcuterie, an exceptional wine, or any other beverage - the results can be extremely rewarding. 

This sumptuous and detailed 'cheese bible' written by 'The Queen of Cheese' includes fascinating insights and flavours from around the world, seasonal pairing guides, carefully curated pairing boards with both classic and unique combinations, and a range of delicious cheese-based recipes suitable for all occasions.

Morgan says: “If you're anything like me, being presented with a plate of delicious cheeses is simply an invitation to dive in, no questions asked. However, it's time to hold back: learning how to taste cheese properly, so that you can decipher all the layers that make it taste so good, will help you make great choices when it comes to pairing. Mastering the art of tasting cheese in a structured way gives you a deeper appreciation of the cheese and a confident understanding of what other morsel of deliciousness might best go with it.”

The Complete Cheese Pairing Cookbook is a must-have for any cheese lover looking to expand their repertoire and elevate an entire dining experience and is the only cheese guide you'll ever need for entertaining friends, family, guests, colleagues, and yourself!

Morgan McGlynn Carr is the UK's leading cheese expert and owner of Cheeses of Muswell Hill, an award-winning independent cheese shop in North London.

'Morgan has done it again with this beautiful and extremely useful book on the art of cheese-pairing. I adore this book.' -- José Pizarro

'Morgan is one of my favourite cheese heroes! If you want to be the 'cheese boss' at your next dinner party, Morgan's books are the perfect weapon to have in your arsenal…what Morgan doesn't know about cheese, frankly, isn't worth knowing!!!' -- James Golding, Former Group Chef Director of The Pig Hotel

'So beautiful. People can be intimidated by different cheeses sometimes but the range and what you pair them with is so broad that all they need is someone with that knowledge and passion to shepherd them in the right way and open their eyes to it, which is exactly what this book will do. I think it's amazing.'-- Chef Tom Brown

'Morgan has done something truly remarkable with this utterly wonderful book. The world of cheese, whilst amazing, can be daunting and intimidating to the uninitiated. Even for seasoned foodies it can be challenging to unpick and understand but what Morgan has done is to provide a roadmap to help navigate this incredible world and to equip you with the knowledge to fully appreciate it. Long gone are the days of boring and uninspired grazing boards thanks to this tremendous tome!!' -- Dhruv Baker, BBC MasterChef Winner 2010

'This is an absolute must-have book for any cheese enthusiast. Morgan effortlessly debunks, demystifies, and educates in her brilliant 'cheese bible'. As chefs, cheese has always played an important part in our cooking repertoire, but a deep dive into the salt, fat, acid, and sweetness of its thousands of varietals has certainly levelled up our cheese game and completely converted us to proud 'caseophiles' (that's a cheese connoisseur to you and I!)' -- Samantha Evans & Shauna Quinn, Hang Fire BBQ

'Packed with wise advice, insider tips and inspired pairings and recipes. Morgan is a genius at demystifying the world of cheese and allowing us all to find our inner fromager!' -- Janine Ratcliffe

'McGlynn Carr, who runs the award-winning Muswell Hill Cheese Shop in London, has established herself as a Big Fromage in her field. Her clever cookbook is a well-written, beautifully photographed testament to her passion. It deserves a place on any self-respecting foodie's bookshelf.' -- John Lahr
