"Camembert is equally good on thin slices of apple, pineapple, pear French "flute" or pumpernickel.  As-with Brie and oysters, Camembert should be eaten only in "R" months, and of these September is the best."I made it through about 5% of the book before giving up on it.  If the quote above is the depth of completeness your looking for this is the book for you.  If you care anything about where or why a particular cheese comes from, how it is made, or what makes it special, this is not the book for you.  Chock full of poems and cute say's it is not what I would call a "Complete" book of cheese.The kindle edition has a working contents section with links to an appendix with entries like the following"Camembert; Germany, US & elsewhere.  A West German imitation that comes in a cute little heart-shaped box which nevertheless doesn't make it more like the Camembert veritable of Normandy"
