“Afrim has done it again with inventive and brilliant ways to rediscover everyone’s favorite food group. Celebrating the terroir and makers of cheese from all around the world, A Passport to Cheese takes you on a tasty trip with truly drool-worthy recipes like Cypriot Halloumi Salad with Fresh Peas & Radishes, Swiss Raclette Supernova, and Canadian Baked Brie. Here’s to all the deliciousness without the jetlag!” MARY BERG, cookbook author and host of CTV’s The Good Stuff with Mary Berg
“The ultimate insider’s guide to finding, selecting, and enjoying the world’s greatest cheeses. This is the cheese-lover’s book of dreams.” CHRIS NUTTALL-SMITH, bestselling author of Cook It Wild
“I had the honor of witnessing Afrim’s meticulous approach as he developed recipes. I was moved by his attention to detail and his quest for perfection—worthy of a great chef!

“Afrim Pristine has been my go-to cheesemonger and most trusted affineur for close to thirty years.

In this new cookbook you’ll find that his legendary enthusiasm extends to cooking with cheese, too.” JACOB RICHLER, Editor-in-Chief, Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants
