Melt

This book is for everyone who believes that cheese makes everything better. 

Whether it’s the sharp tang of goat’s cheese in a salad, the gooeyness of warm raclette on bread or the crumbly creaminess of a hunk of Cheddar, cheese is a kitchen hero. We all know cheese gives life to toast, is essential showered over pasta, and prized on cheeseboards – but it has so much more to offer. It melts, crisps, crumbles, and stretches, adds depth, texture and even structure to sweet and savory dishes in ways that few ingredients can match. 

This book is a celebration of what cheese, in all its forms, can do in salads, soups, hearty mains, cakes, desserts and more. It will help readers understand the staggering variety of styles of cheese, the best way to store it, how to swap one for another in recipes and how to use up scrag ends home cooks might not consider worth saving.
