"Every cheese tells a story—of the place it’s made, of the people who make it, and, of course, of the people who eat it." These stories, from maître fromager Afrim Pristine, are at the heart of this gorgeous, internationally inspired cookbook, with 75 recipes that put cheese at the center of the plate. Whether you're looking for mealtime inspiration or tips and tricks for putting together the perfect cheese board, with Afrim as your guide, the world of cheese is waiting for you.

A Passport to Cheese is your personal culinary adventure, sure to delight your taste buds and celebrate everyone's favourite ingredient—no planes, trains, or automobiles required. In his second cookbook, Afrim Pristine, bestselling author and owner of Toronto's beloved Cheese Boutique, has gathered global flavours and international cheese-making traditions in 75 delicious recipes. Here he highlights everything from creamy French camembert, fresh Mexican queso fresco, and Italian ricotta, to sharp English cheddar, salty Cypriot halloumi, and robust Canadian Celtic Blue.
