tl;dr
Fun and informative, this book will also really really spark your appetite.

Thoughts
If I didn't already know the author was a blogger, I'd probably guess, because the cadence of the book hits that perfect sweet spot of enthusiastic people sharing slices of knowledge in inviting vignettes. I already like cheese. But even as a fan of all things cheese, this covered so much more knowledge than I already had. History, science, geography - all the things that make cheese such a varied and exciting food. I was only a few pages in before had to hit pause and check to see if there were any local cheesemakers I could check out. And I think that's the strength of this book. It's informative, sure. But mostly it's inspiring. It makes me want to learn more, try new flavors, and have friends along for the ride. And honestly, that's pretty great.

Thanks to NetGalley and Workman Publishing Company for an advance copy. All thoughts in this review are my own!
