Overview
A quest for passion and community meets deep knowledge and learning in Michael Finnerty's The Cheese Cure. A renowned journalist and radio presenter, Finnerty found something deeply lacking in the flavour of his life. What followed was a life-changing sabbatical in the historical halls of Borough Market filled with cheese-borne wisdom, eccentric characters, and a tale as gripping as it is heartfelt.Convinced that salvation lay in the rich world of cheese, Finnerty reconsiders his successful career with the CBC after training as an apprentice cheesemonger in London. Immediately immersed into a completely unexpected universe, his love for cheese went even further than his unimaginably growing knowledge. From learning each cheese's history, complexities, and preferences - Castillon Frais must sit in its box underneath some waxed paper, while Comté often needs a quick saline bath before bed - and believing that cheeses are infused with a living spirit, to injuries, allergies, and physical exhaustion, he experienced it all. And when a devastating attack sent people fleeing Borough Market, Finnerty realized that in cheese he had found something even more important - his community. A thriving mosaic of eclectic stories, passion, know-how, and serendipity, The Cheese Cure depicts a life lived to the fullest.
