6. Featured Cookbook: Clark Wolf's American Cheeses American Cheeses: The Best Regional, Artisan, and Farmhouse Cheeses, Who Makes Them, and Where to Find Them Clark Wolf Simon & Schuster, December 2008 Nearly thirty years after opening the landmark Oakville Grocery in San Francisco, Clark Wolf brings us this guide to the ever-expanding roster of fine American cheeses. Well before the inception of the slow food and sustainability movements in American cuisine, Wolf had begun searching for a stable of homegrown artisan cheeses. When he began, most decent cheeses were imported from Europe. American-made cheeses were paler, cruder incarnations of their sophisticated cousins. Wolf was part of a small but growing trend to help mature American cuisine, in part by bringing the art of good cheese to American pastures, kitchens, and palates. Today, owing much to those efforts, Wolf is able to provide this guide and recipe book for the ever-expanding repertoire of sophisticated and richly satisfying American gourmet cheeses. Don't miss Wolf moderate a three-way discussion between Charlie Trotter, Emeril Lagasse, and Norman Van Aken on Sunday, September 20th at the International Chefs Congress Main Stage. | ||||||
