Knowing of my freakish and never-ending rapture for all things queso, one of my besties, Kayla, surprised me by sending this book yesterday! Woo hoo! It's always big fun to open the door to the strapping, brown-clad UPS guy -- particularly when you're not expecting him!Here's what the book's publisher has to say:
"The Cheese Chronicles is an insider's look at the burgeoning world of American cheese from one lucky person who has seen more wedges and wheels, visited more cheesemakers, and tasted more delicious (and occasionally stinky) American cheese than anyone else."
I haven't started reading it yet, but I CAN'T WAIT to do so. Organized into nine chapters, author Liz Thorpe also provides a bunch of fantastic "sidebar" comments, such as:
- I'll See Your Piquancy and Raise You Peppery
- Tasting with Your Nose
- Why I Hate "Swiss" Cheese
- Why is Goat Cheese White?
I leave you with some eye candy from Murray's Cheese in NYC, where Thorpe is second in command:

Yay! I'm so happy you got it! Enjoy! :)
