Antique Dinner Plate

Stephen J. Helliwell has produced the first book to describe Old Sheffield plate and electroplate, along with their short-lived predecessors, mercury plating, cold gilding and close plating. The book is divided into collectable areas, such as candlesticks, cutlery and alcoholic objects, and each item illustrated is described and given an up to date valuation. Reasons for values are discussed and explained and there is a very useful section describing the marks which are found on plate. Advice is given on how to care for silver plate and how to be aware of fakes and reproductions. Collectors and dealers alike will find a wealth of indispensable information in this book, which can be kept up to date with regular price revision lists and is sure to become the standard work of reference on the subject.

If you've ever had genuine farmhouse Cheddar from England, or real Alsatian Munster, or aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, you know that fine hand-crafted cheeses have absolutely nothing to do with the bland, shrink-wrapped, food-colored offerings that evoke school cafeterias. Artisanal cheeses--from luscious triple cremes to the "boss" blues--are complex and richly rewarding, very similar to fine wines. And these cheeses get even more rewarding if you know something about their subtleties, their attributes, and how to get the most out of them--like which wines go with which cheeses (and why), or how a multiple-cheese tasting should progress, or what an appropriate portion size is, or which accompaniments work best, or why the Loire chevres peak in autumn. Max McCalman is one of the world's foremost experts on these matters. As the maitre fromager (or "cheese master") at the acclaimed restaurants Picholine and Artisanal in New York City, he spends his entire day, every day, dealing with cheese--ordering it, tasting it, studying it, serving it. And The Cheese Plate is the culmination of his years of passion and study for this subject: the definitive work on how to enjoy the world's greatest cheeses (and what those cheeses are) at home. The Cheese Plate begins with the fundamentals: history, what exactly cheese is, and how it's made. Then Max moves onto the subject that has made him a star in the culinary world--the art of cheese tasting. To begin with, it's important to know how to buy, store, and serve cheeses, and then how to taste them (again, as with wines, the best results come with a little finesse). Then you'll want to pair cheeses with other foods and beverages, especially wines,to bring out the best of both. And with all this expertise in hand, you'll want to construct cheese plates, from a quick lunch assortment to a full after-dinner tasting extravaganza.
