NEW - Documentary - Cheese walk

Documentary - From 10 years old All the passion and humor of Bernard Friot serving cheese. From its little history to its manufacturing secrets, from its economy to its literary use, a wealth of information served on a platter! An eclectic and generous book on cheese, where very serious documentary information alternates with words of humor, small fun activities, cooking recipes, poems, riddles, interviews in the form of comic strips... For an audience of amateurs from 7 to 77 years old and even wider... A shock team led by Bernard Friot This book was born in the minds of two gourmands who wanted to share their same passion by pooling their skills: Bernard Friot, writer-poet full of humor, and Aurore Paillusson, creamer and cheese maker in Besançon. Between them, they gathered plenty of information and invented a new way of talking about cheese: by sharing their knowledge in a joyful way; by wandering from subject to subject to get around the question. Alongside them, two artists focused on the content to create an original atmosphere: the superb posters of Thomas Baas alternate with the funny pictograms of Charlotte Fréreau which spice up the texts and her funny comic strips which energize the interviews. The graphic elements continually showcase the documentary data for greater fluidity and better readability. Appetizing documentary content This cheese walk is like the cheese platter: it offers lots of choice and the possibility of tasting everything! 7 themes take amateur readers into the heart of a well-flavored world: History of cheese, Raw or pasteurized milk, Cheese making, Economy and ecology, Eating cheese, Cheese and health, Cheese words. From one chapter to another, from one page to another, from one box to another, cheese is shown in all its forms and for all tastes: from its little history to its manufacturing secrets , from its economy to its literary use, there is a wealth of information offered to us and which we can nibble on as we wish! Where we will learn that cheese is the oldest food manufactured by man, that the word "cheese" comes from the name of the mold for making cheese, which is called "forma" in Latin, that cow's milk contains 85% water while cleansing milk does not contain milk, that it takes no less than 11 operations to make cheese or what is the difference between a cooperative and a fruit farm... Fun formatting for maximum accessibility For this extraordinary book, an unexpected layout was required. The model is therefore modern, colorful and effective. Like in a magazine, the information is structured and put into boxes for better reading. They are interspersed with visuals (illustrations, pictograms and photos) which show them. This presentation creates an echo between documentary data, posters and cartoons; the reader can scrounge according to their desires, zapping style. The interviews with professionals (archaeologist, producers, dairyman, ecologist, cook, immunologist) are put into comics for better understanding (where the stroke of a pencil replaces the camera...). Cooking recipes, riddles, mini-activities reinforce the impression of playing with the subject. And, to end the walk, fans of Bernard Friot's "Histoires presses" will have the pleasure of discovering a new short story by our gourmet poet! In the press : “This fascinating book should be put into the hands of all cheese lovers, adults or children. » Le Monde.fr
