The Best of "Cheese - y" Cookbooks for 2014!

I've been taking a revisit of a great little cookbook, The WI Food Journal 2014, and finding again all kinds of treasures.

In the beginning, there is a great foreword by Jeanne Carpenter, Wisconsin's own cheese spokeswoman.

This gem of a book by Joan Peterson and Terese Allen has monthly calendars - so you can plan all your cheese meals!

Every month also has a monthly seasonal guide and pearls of wisdom by the state's cheese specialtists. A common thread among all the state's cheesemakers - Quality cheese begins with beautiful, clean, quality milk from animals that are well cared for and well fed. Enough said!

Wonderful cheese recipes like the Cheddar Sage Biscuits on page 18 ( a great recipe for this month  since the book also claims March is Cheddar Month!) And some of our favorite cheddars come from the our favorite cheesemaker pictured by Photographer Bill Lubing, Tony Hook, on page 100.

Signature March Recipe - There's even a great black bean soup with cheddar, cornbread and onions that I'm dying to make in our store for lunch!

Stop in to the store, give a gander at a great little resource. At just $17.95, it is well worth the investment to anybody's cookbook collection!
