Cheesemonger: A Life on the Wedge

Edgar, San Francisco punk-turned-cheese-man, offers this informative memoir filled with sharp-witted humor that may forever change your perception of fermented dairy products. Along with telling his own story, Edgar informs readers of many aspects of the cheese movement such as animal rights, sustainable farming practices, the politics of cheese, co-operatives, as well as how to identify a good parmigiano reggiano or gruy矇re. This book is for anyone who has eaten cheese, bought food from a grocer, or is thinking about eating cheese bought from a grocer. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
