A good story
GK Chesterton: “The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.”
Voila: http://www.tastingtoeternity.com. This book is a poetic view of 30 of the best loved French cheeses with an additional two odes to cheese. Recipes, wine pairing, three short stories and an educational section complete the book.
From a hectic life in New York City to the peace and glories of the French countryside lead me to be the co-founder of http://www.fromages.com. Ten years later with the words of Pierre Androuet hammering on my brain:
“Cheese is the soul of the soil. It is the purest and most romantic link between humans and the earth.”
I took pen and paper; many reams later with the midnight oil burning Tasting to Eternity was born and self published.
I believe cheese and wine lovers should be told about this publication.
Enjoy

I love brie but in general the stinkier the French cheese the more I like it.

I know it’s no big deal, but several commenters mentioned Gruyere, which isn’t French but Swiss…
I love all cheeses, haven’t found one I didn’t like yet

Okay, so that cheese is over the top! It looks heavenly. Thanks for the great close up shot of it. I can just imagine it spread on a piece of bread or cracker…
