Now in their new book, Cowgirl Creamery Cooks, they share their story of the cowgirls, which is also the story of the rise of organic food movement, and the creation of an artisanal creamery.

It’s a primer on tasting, buying, storing, and appreciating all kinds of cheese that make this great fun for a cheese lover.

And yes, he reads every single book.
