Overview:
Elevate your entertaining with a two-book collection from Morgan McGlynn Carr that brings professional-level cheese expertise into the home kitchen. The Modern Cheeseboard is a practical, beautifully photographed guide to constructing show-stopping boards for any occasion. It demystifies the process by breaking the board into its core components—cheese, meat, accompaniments, and garnish—so you can balance textures, flavours, and colours with confidence. The accompanying tone is warm and approachable, guiding hosts from planning to presentation with clear, step-by-step how-tos. The Complete Cheese Pairing Cookbook complements this hands-on approach with detailed pairing charts and recipes that illuminate how cheese interacts with crackers, chutneys, and wines. Together, these two volumes form a complete toolkit for hosting with style, rooted in Morgan McGlynn’s decades of cheese expertise and her acclaimed work on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch. This hardcover duo is crafted for avid home cooks, aspiring cheesemongers, and anyone who loves sharing exceptional food with friends and family.
What Makes This Collection Special:
What makes this two-book set stand out is its seamless synergy between board-building know-how and sophisticated pairing theory—delivered by a trusted authority in British cheesemaking. The Modern Cheeseboard turns the act of arranging a platter into a practiced ceremony: selecting a balance of textures and flavours, arranging components for visual appeal, and offering practical tips for timing, portioning, and guest enjoyment. The Complete Cheese Pairing Cookbook dives deeper into the science and artistry of cheese pairings, translating expert intuition into reproducible charts, recipes, and tasting notes. The result is a rapid upskilling path from confident host to confident connoisseur, with a redo-friendly approach that makes it easy to recreate, adapt, and impress. These books also make a thoughtful gift for food lovers, new hosts, and anyone building a personal library of entertaining essentials.
Books Included in This Collection:

The Modern Cheeseboard is a practical, beautifully illustrated guide to crafting stunning cheese spreads. It breaks the process into four approachable components—cheese, meat, accompaniments, and garnish—allowing you to design boards that reflect seasonality, occasion, and guest preferences.

Whether you’re hosting a casual get-together or a formal tasting, this book provides the structure and inspiration to create memorable experiences centered around cheese. Its emphasis on balance, presentation, and guest enjoyment makes it an indispensable reference for any cheese enthusiast looking to elevate their entertaining repertoire.
The Complete Cheese Pairing Cookbook
In this sumptuous companion, Morgan McGlynn Carr shares cheese pairing charts and recipes designed to unlock a fuller, more rewarding tasting experience. The core idea is that certain elements in cheese and in accompaniments react differently when paired, transforming everyday bites into moments of discovery.
