Paula Lambert is a godsend to cheese lovers everywhere. She so yearned for delicious cheese that she built her own factory, the Mozzarella Company, in Dallas, Texas. The Cheese Lover's Cookbook and Guide is her indispensable resource on buying, storing, cooking, and serving cheese, and even making your own cheese at home. In more than 150 recipes, Lambert presents a down-to-earth approach to cooking with many varieties, whether it's Gruyère, Camembert, or just tried-and-true Cheddar.

Reviews
David Rosengarten host of Taste and co-anchor of In Food Today on the Television Food Network Paula Lambert, one of our national culinary treasures, has put together a mouthwatering collection of cheese-friendly recipes, both classic and creative. Good as the dishes are, I'd buy the book simply as a basic guide to cheese: it is thorough, clear, intelligent, and concise.
Steven Jenkins author of the Cheese Primer The Cheese Lover's Cookbook and Guide is a joy to me, not only for the expert, cheese-specific information, but also for the numerous, extraordinary recipes. Paula Lambert knows her cheese, and has a remarkable grasp of gastronomy. This book has all my respect and admiration. Jacques Pepin There is always something new to learn about cheese, and this is the book to read. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and fun, The Cheese Lover's Cookbook and Guide will change, improve, and add variety to your kitchen repertoire.

Stephan Pyles chef, author, and host of the national PBS series New Tastes from Texas While most people recognize Paula Lambert as one of the most gifted cheesemakers in America, not everyone realizes just what an accomplished cook she is. The Cheese Lover's Cookbook and Guide not only showcases her dedication to the craft of making cheese, but also shares her enthusiasm and passion for life, food, and wine. After reading all the delicious recipes in this book, I have come to two conclusions: (1) I want my last meal on earth to include cheese, and (2) I want Paula Lambert to prepare that meal. Dean Fearing chef of The Mansion on Turtle Creek I love Paula's cheeses, we were the first restaurant to carry them, and now The Cheese Lover's Cookbook and Guide shares her brilliance with the rest of the world.
