💡 Did you know
A fascinating fact about cheese pairing is that the flavours and characteristics of both the cheese and the accompanying beverage (wine, beer, or other) can interact in various ways, enhancing and transforming each other. This interaction is often referred to as "synergy." For example, the creaminess of a cheese can soften the tannins in a red wine, creating a more harmonious flavor experience. The complex interplay of textures, tastes, and aromas in cheese pairing highlights the artistry and subjectivity involved in creating delightful combinations.
Unveiling the Art of Cheese Pairing
Morgan's culinary journey into the world of cheese pairing began about five years ago with a humble chart drawn on the back of a brown paper bag.

The heart of this cookbook lies in Morgan's meticulous cheese pairing charts. These charts, born from the desire to help a customer enhance her cheese experience, have now blossomed into an easy-to-navigate guide, presenting the perfect combinations that bring out the best in both cheese and accompaniments.

In the cookbook, Morgan shares some guiding principles that have been honed through years of cheese travels and tastings. The process involves partnering different cheeses with jams, nuts, fruits, meats, or anything that sparks the imagination.
