The Spring Festivals Oregon & California

So excited about the next few weeks. The Oregon Cheese Festival followed by the California Artisan Cheese Festival. Filming "Cheese Chick: On Location" segments and begin work on the Meet Your Maker series.

This is the unofficial launch of my new blog/vlog, a general reporting of the incredible world of artisan and specialty cheese. It will include video, recipes, articles and reporting from cheese-centric happenings.

I am eager to share the stories that take the cheese-curious behind the rind: from the dairy to the make room and aging caves, to the cheesemongers and experts who connect the cheese to the consumer.

After a drifting decade in my 20's, I am thankful that my unique set of life-experiences and interests (cooking, travel, history & culture, screen(writing) and film, eco-consciousness and, of course, a lifelong love of cheese) have finally coalesced around something! (I was beginning to wonder ; )

I am unbelievably grateful to have been invited into this fascinating subculture of individuals who comprise a collegial, creative and dynamic industry. I am proud to call so many talented, passionate people friends and colleagues and find what we are creating together to be infinitely wonderful!
