The key to becoming a successful artisan cheesemaker is to develop the intuition essential for problem solving and developing unique styles of cheeses. There are an increasing number of books on the market about making cheese, but none approaches the intricacies of cheesemaking science alongside considerations for preparing each type of cheese variety in as much detail as Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking.Indeed, this book fills a big hole in the market. Beginner guides leave you wanting more content and explanation of process, while recipe-based cookbooks often fail to dig deeper into the science, and therefore don’t allow for a truly intuitive cheesemaker to develop. Acclaimed cheesemaker Gianaclis Caldwell has written the book she wishes existed when she was starting out. Every serious home-scale artisan cheesemaker—even those just beginning to experiment—will want this book as their bible to take them from their first quick mozzarella to a French mimolette, and ultimately to designing their own unique cheeses.This comprehensive and user-friendly guide thoroughly explains the art and science that allow milk to be transformed into epicurean masterpieces. Caldwell offers a deep look at the history, science, culture, and art of making artisan cheese on a small scale, and includes detailed information on equipment and setting up a home-scale operation. A large part of the book includes extensive process-based recipes dictating not only the hard numbers, but also the concepts behind each style of cheese and everything you want to know about affinage (aging) and using oils, brushes, waxes, infusions, and other creative aging and flavoring techniques. Also included are beautiful photographs, profiles of other cheesemakers, and in-depth appendices for quick reference in the preparation and aging room. Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking will also prove an invaluable resource for those with, or thinking of starting, a small-scale creamery.Let Gianaclis Caldwell be your mentor, guide, and cheering section as you follow the pathway to a mastery of cheesemaking. For the avid home hobbyist to the serious commercial artisan, Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking is an irreplaceable resource.

Gone to Look for America is a road-worn journey into the backroom, backroad, moonshine heart of the USA.With a guitar on his back and a storyteller’s instinct for the road less travelled, Steve Bonham sets out in search of a different America—the one that lives off the main strip, beyond the guidebooks and neon promises.From the misty hollers of Appalachia to the honky-tonk bars of Nashville, from desert highways in New Mexico to the haunted rhythms of New Orleans, this is a journey through small towns, big characters and the places where myth and reality blur.Along the way, Bonham encounters songwriters, drifters, dreamers and survivors—people who carry their stories in their voices and their lives in their hands. Through music, conversation and hard-earned reflection, he uncovers an America built not on slogans, but on resilience, reinvention and the stubborn refusal to give up.Blending travel memoir, storytelling and original music, Gone to Look for America is by turns funny, moving and sharply observed—a book about getting lost, paying attention, and discovering that the real story is rarely the one you were told at the start.It is a search for the spirit of America—and whatever’s left of the American dream.
