Goat Song: A Seasonal Life, A Short History of Herding, and the Art of Making Cheese by Brad Kessler
The Pacific Northwest Cheese Project is one of our favorite cheese websites to read. They posted a wonderful book review of Brad Kessler’s “Goat Song: A Seasonal Life, A Short History of Herding, and the Art of Making Cheese.” We’re looking forward to reading it. The Los Angeles Times called it “Mouthwatering… delicious.”
Here’s an excerpt from the review:
“Following Thoreau’s example, Kessler pulls from a variety of literary and spiritual traditions, ranging from Greek mythology by way of the Greek god Pan – half goat, half man – to Yiddish tales to the Bible and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics…. infused with the practical prose of goat husbandry books as he and wife Dona McAdams work hard to learn the everyday ways of goats. As the couple progresses in goat-rearing expertise, readers witness milk, the ultimate fruit of their labors, turn into cheese. Though ultimately cheese is a minor character in the book, it’s the tangible (not to mention edible) outcome of what might be called Kessler’s ‘goat project.’”
