Summary

“Open-hearted and buoyant, the book weaves together her hands-on experiences in Europe and introduces us to a rich cast of people who make, sell and care about these traditions。” —Jenny Linford, author of The Missing Ingredient

In this delightful, full-color tour of France, England, and Italy, YouTube star Katie Quinn shares the stories and science behind everyone's fermented favorites—cheese, wine, and bread—along with classic recipes。

Delicious staples of a great meal, bread, cheese, and wine develop their complex flavors through a process known as fermentation。 Katie Quinn spent months as an apprentice with some of Europe’s most acclaimed experts to study the art and science of fermentation。 Visiting grain fields, vineyards, and dairies, Katie brings the stories and science of these foods to the table, explains the process of each craft, and introduces the people behind them。 

What will keep readers glued to the book like a suspense novel is Katie's personal journey as an expat discovering herself abroad; Katie's vulnerability will turn readers into fans, and they'll finish the book feeling like they're her best friends, trusted with her innermost revelations。

In England, Katie becomes a cheesemonger at Neal's Yard Dairy, London’s preeminent cheese shop—the beginning of a journey that takes her from a goat farm in rural Somerset to a nationwide search for innovating dairy gurus。

In Italy, Katie offers an inside look at Italian winemaking with the Comellis at their family-owned vineyard in Northeast Italy and witnesses the diversity of vintners as she makes her way around Italy。

In France, Katie meets the reigning queen of bread, Apollonia Poilâne of Paris' famed Poilâne Bakery, apprentices at boulangeries in Paris learning the ins and outs of sourdough, and travels the country to uncover the present and future of French bread。

Part artisanal survey, part travelogue, and part cookbook, featuring watercolor illustrations and gorgeous photographs, Cheese, Wine, and Bread is an outstanding gastronomic tour for foodies, cooks, artisans, and armchair travelers alike。

This Mother’s Day gift had me reflecting on missing traveling, quality ingredients, and starting a sourdough starter which I had not been interested in throughout this pandemic。 Great read。

Cheese, Wine, and Bread by Katie Quinn is not a cookbook per se, but it is the perfect book for someone who wants to learn more about cooking with cheese, wine, and bread。 (READ MORE: https://yourmoneygeek。com/review-kati。。。) Katie Quinn’s book is a scrumptious journey through the world of three culinary staples and readers will come away from reading this book with a deeper understanding of why cheese, wine, and bread are the perfect trifecta。 There are recipes throughout the book, like the del Cheese, Wine, and Bread by Katie Quinn is not a cookbook per se, but it is the perfect book for someone who wants to learn more about cooking with cheese, wine, and bread。 (READ MORE: https://yourmoneygeek。com/review-kati。。。) Katie Quinn’s book is a scrumptious journey through the world of three culinary staples and readers will come away from reading this book with a deeper understanding of why cheese, wine, and bread are the perfect trifecta。 There are recipes throughout the book, like the delicious Stilton Scones with Cranberries, a DIY Yogurt, Wine Cookies, and most intriguingly — Cheddar Brownies。 Yes, you read that correctly。 Cheddar Brownies! Quinn assures readers that the chunks of cheddar are complementary to fudgy brownies, and I think I have to agree! The sweet and savory combination of two of my favorite foods sounds like a match made in kitchen heaven to me。 The book is laid out in three parts: Part One: Cheese/England, Part Two: Wine/Italy, and Part Three: Bread/France。 Each section features information about each of the staples, recipes, must-see points of origin, and history。 If you’re still hungry for more information about wine, cheese, or bread Quinn has included a convenient page filled with further reading sources。 I would highly recommend Cheese, Wine, and Bread for anyone who is looking to expand their knowledge on the ingredients, or someone looking to find a reason to get a little more adventurous with these ingredients in the kitchen。 It’s a very well-written, thorough, and engaging book that belongs on your kitchen cookbook shelf。 Cheese, Wine, and Bread is a love story to these three delicious elements of any well-rounded kitchen。 From start to finish, you’ll find new experiences you’ll want to seek out, new ways to eat your favorite dishes, and a newfound respect for what makes each of these items truly perfect。 A word of caution though。 This book will leave you starving to tour the countryside of Italy for wine, venturing to the rolling hills of England for cheese, and wandering the sidewalks of Paris in search of the perfect loaf of bread。 。。。more

This is not a cookbook, but it will make you a better cook。 I read this cover to cover。 I love cheese, wine, and bread。 With this book I felt as if I was with Katie, learning what is involved in good cheese, wine, and bread。 This is a perfect armchair travel book, and a fun way to learn about the holy trinity of food, cheese, wine, and bread。 Highly recommend。

I loved this book and the author! She's fun and funny and very knowledgeable and curious which made for an interesting read。 There were parts that were very scientific (maybe a bit too much for me) but I learned a lot。 I've gotten some good tips of places to go in London, Rome and France。 And I can't wait to have a grilled cheese sandwich from Kappacasein!
