Goatcheese
Author: Maggie Foard
Goat Cheese combines the recipes for foods you love with the natural goodness of goat cheese and goat's milk. With over 70 delicious recipes for appetizers, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there is always time for Goat Cheese. Once you've tried the Sweet Ricotta Pancakes topped with bananas and strawberries, Cherry Oatmeal Scones with chevre or fromage blanc, Lamb Tenderloins stuffed with eggplant and feta, or the Espresso Cheesecake Brownie, you will forget that cows even exist!
Maggie Foard studied horticulture at the City College of San Francisco (CCSF), but she wasn't introduced to fresh goat cheese until she went on a school field trip ten years ago with her son to the local goat farm. She simply fell in love with not only goat cheese but the whole goat farm! Incorporating goat cheese and other goat dairy into cooking was just a natural consequence, since she was already an avid chef. Maggie lives on twelve acres in rural San Mateo County of California, with her husband, Jim, and their teenage son, Eric. She raises her own chickens for eggs and has dogs, cats, goats, ducks, peacocks, and a rooster.

Chef Foard's cookbook incorporates goat cheese into everything from morning meals to desserts. It offers inventive recipes that will pique the interest of experienced cooks who may be more familiar with the cheese's use as a condiment for baguette or crackers. Since heating and baking with goat cheese is less common, it is refreshing to see that Foard has addressed this issue with a plethora of baked desserts and great pizza ideas. There is a beginner's section to explain eight types of goat cheese, which is helpful to everyone, not just the novice. Although it may seem extravagant to devote an entire cookbook to this food, it is Foard's gastronomic passion, and she executes the book perfectly. It offers a fabulous array of recipes for those who are intolerant of cow's milk cheese or just want to introduce more goat cheese into their everyday meals. Well organized and aesthetically pleasing, this book is a perfect addition to any public library cookbook collection.
