Who doesnt love Mac and Cheese? On the monthly book review edition of Cutting the Curd, guest host Diane Stemple is joined by Laura Werlin, a James Beard award-winning author with an unbridled passion for cheese. Lauras latest book is Mac and Cheese Please, where youll find 50 recipes organized by fun topics, such as Classic and Almost-Classic Mac and Cheese, Porky Mac and Cheese, Decadent Mac and Cheese, Lighten Up Mac and Cheese, Veggie Mac and Cheese, Party Time Mac and Cheese, and Breakfast for Dinner Mac and Cheese. The 50 recipes are presented in a fun format, like her previous title, Grilled Cheese Please! She even includes an appendix that includes info on all the food trucks and restaurants that specialize in mac and cheese. Tune in to learn more about one of the most popular dishes in America, and hear the nuances that go into writing a cookbook! Cutting the Curd is underwritten by The Dairy Farm Families of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. In many ways, the single subject book format is much easier because I know what the basic idea will be - and then its a question of getting creative with it. [08:00] If we just keep talking about cheeses we know in the cheese world that others dont - it will stay amongst ourselves rather than reaching a larger group of people who might be interested in these cheeses but dont know about them. I try to provide gateways into cheese with these books that will encourage people to go further. [18:00] --author Laura Werlin on Cutting the Curd
