Cheese Board

When a tiny cheese shop opened for business on a quaint Berkeley street in 1967, there was little hint of what the shop"”and the neighborhood"”would grow into over the next 30 years. The Cheese Board became a collective a few years later, and Chez Panisse opened across the street, giving birth to one of the country"™s most vibrant food neighborhoods, the epicenter of California"™s culinary revolution. Known and loved by locals and travelers alike, the Cheese Board is equal parts bakery, cheese store, pizzeria, and gathering place"”a patchwork of the local community, where a passion for good food runs deep. For the first time ever, The Cheese Board presents the classic recipes that have made the store one of the San Francisco Bay Area"™s most acclaimed gourmet destinations. Complete with a history of the shop and neighborhood, a cheese primer, and all the classic recipes"”including the corn-cherry scones, cheese rolls, and zampanos, all of which have a cult following"”The Cheese Board is as rich and varied as the institution that inspired it.
