Cheese Obsession

An award-winning writer and teacher, Georgeanne Brennan has divided her time between her farms in Haute-Provence and Northern California for nearly 40 years. She is the author of numerous cookbooks for Williams-Sonoma, among dozens of other cooking and gardening titles, and has also published a memoir called A Pig in Provence. In addition to her books, Brennan writes regular features for newspapers and magazines and offers cooking workshops in California and France. She first learned about cheese in the 1970s, when she purchased her farmhouse in Provence, and soon found herself raising goats, making cheese from their milk, and selling her handcrafted chevre at local outdoor markets.
