"Open-hearted and buoyant, the book weaves together her hands-on
experiences in Europe and introduces us to a rich cast of people
who make, sell and care about these traditions." -Jenny Linford,
author of The Missing Ingredient In this delightful, full-color
tour of France, England, and Italy, YouTube star Katie Quinn shares
the stories and science behind everyone's fermented
favorites-cheese, wine, and bread-along with classic recipes.
Delicious staples of a great meal, bread, cheese, and wine develop
their complex flavors through a process known as fermentation.
Katie Quinn spent months as an apprentice with some of Europe's
most acclaimed experts to study the art and science of
fermentation. Visiting grain fields, vineyards, and dairies, Katie
brings the stories and science of these foods to the table,
explains the process of each craft, and introduces the people
behind them. What will keep readers glued to the book like a
suspense novel is Katie's personal journey as an expat discovering
herself abroad; Katie's vulnerability will turn readers into fans,
and they'll finish the book feeling like they're her best friends,
trusted with her innermost revelations. In England, Katie becomes a
cheesemonger at Neal's Yard Dairy, London's preeminent cheese
shop-the beginning of a journey that takes her from a goat farm in
rural Somerset to a nationwide search for innovating dairy gurus.
In Italy, Katie offers an inside look at Italian winemaking with
the Comellis at their family-owned vineyard in Northeast Italy and
witnesses the diversity of vintners as she makes her way around
Italy. In France, Katie meets the reigning queen of bread,
Apollonia Poilane of Paris' famed Poilane Bakery, apprentices at
boulangeries in Paris learning the ins and outs of sourdough, and
travels the country to uncover the present and future of French
bread. Part artisanal survey, part travelogue, and part cookbook,
featuring watercolor illustrations and gorgeous photographs,
Cheese, Wine, and Bread is an outstanding gastronomic tour for
foodies, cooks, artisans, and armchair travelers alike.
