T. A. Layton, better known nowadays as a wine merchant and a former winaer of the Vintners Scholarship, first made his name as a pioneer in the rediscovery and ffiarketing of the old English country cheeses. Double Cottenham, Sage Derby, Blue Vinny, all came to his little restaurant, 'The Book', in Great Russell Street, in the years just before the last war. The restaurant, alas, and even some of the cheeses, have vanished and there is nowhere in London today where an even remotely comparable cheese table is to be found. Mr Layton, by writing for the restaurateur as well as for the householder, proposes to help remedy this situation.
The sixteen colour plates between them show the principal cheeses of the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Denmark, the United States and Canada.
