CONVERSATIONS AROUND THE COOKERY SCHOOL TABLE

all i want for christmas is artisan cheese - REcap

In the last of our series of Conversations around The Cookery School Table for 2024 we collated an expert panel of artisan cheese makers and retailers all about making, maturing and selling cheese at Christmas.

Chaired by writer & cheese podcaster Jenny Linford whose feature “The British Cheese Crisis” during lockdown was instrumental to the survival of many British producers. Jenny hosts the podcast A Slice of Cheese where she regularly talks to cheese-makers around the world. She spoke to Mary Quicke – award winning 4th generational cheesemaker (Quickes was established in 1540) widely considered the Godmother of British cheese, 3rd generational cheesemaker Jonny & Dulcie Crickmore of Fen Farm Dairy, producers of award winning cheeses including the acclaimed Baron Bigod and Joe Schneider maker of the creamy raw milk blue Stichelton cheese in Nottinghamshire.

Representing cheese retailers was Bronwen Percival the technical director for Neal’s Yard Dairy in London and Rhuaridh Buchanan a previous winner of Cheese Counter of the Year at the World Cheese Awards for Buchanan’s Cheesemongers in London.
