Reviews

I responded readily to Janet's book because it is so friendly, simple to follow, attractive to the eye, well researched and has a very personal touch. It's like sitting down with her and, over a cup of coffee and a plate of hot out of the oven scones, having her share all of these wonderful experiences. Her passion for cheese is evident.
