Sometimes I indulge in a piece of cheese mid afternoon. Sometimes brie, sometimes cheddar, sometimes whatever my tastebuds feel the need to be consoled with…salty, acidic or smokey. A few years back I did a quick European tour and explored cheeses.

I used to work for HT Webb, a cheese importer back in UK, Kent and it triggered an instant fascination of this strange food made from coagulated milk. I began to try many, read about their history and making and to photograph them. Having unearthed my collection of cheese books to put in the new study I thought it might be nice to put the link up for you to have a gastronomic gander. It’s quite long but I hope it fills a couple of pleasurable Sunday afternoon hours and tempts you to explore our wonderful cheeses, that across Europen, are as diverse as we are in temperament and taste.

Happy Sunday.
