The Cheese Chronicles

a Journey Through the Making and Selling of Cheese in America, From Field to Farm to Table
Aug 02, 2012
Sort of a magnum opus of cheese – a handbook of the growing phenomenon of well-made cheeses in America. Sounds a bit deadly, but is so winningly written and engaging that it’s more of a brilliant field guide to our native cheese, and it sent me out looking for some of our local purveyors at the Farmer’s Market. What I appreciate about Liz Thorpe is that while she is clearly comfortable in the rarefied air of the New York gourmet scene, her book doesn’t hesitate to take a hard look at more commonly available cheeses and celebrates all levels of cheese production.
