Cheesemonger by Gordon Edgar
5.0
Full disclosure: I am a frequent customer and longtime fan of the author, and yes, I've been to his parties, so you might think I'm biased. A bit, yeah. However…
The confluence of seemingly disparate themes in this book blows my little mind. It's like the cheese he describes a company making when they had to use up a bunch of milk real fast and blended cow's and goat's milk, crossed their fingers, and produced a damn fine cheese. It's totally punk rock, but years of practice and learning and experience must go into such a risky dare to pull it off.
Gordon's years of zining and blogging, slicing and chatting pay off in this hilariously anecdotal, spot-on informative and udderly unique (sorry!) memoir.
Plus, it makes me crave cheese, long for cheese, dream about cheese!!!!!
