Newest issue of Cheese Enthusiast Mailing September 30, 2011. All of the book and DVD reviews from the newsletter.

Wow!  Lots going on in the cheese world.  In Cheese Enthusiast 13/14, our newest issue of Cheese Enthusiast, we’ve got a review of the wonderful new book, The Joy of Cheesemaking.  At the other end of our emotional spectrum, we note the closing of CreamLine – oh how we will miss you!  In between, CE readers can learn about yak milk and the benefit of the plague to cheesemaking.  We kick things off with a visit with the extraordinary cheesemakers at NYC’s Union Square Greenmarket.  We’ve also had a steady stream of “emails to the editor,” some of which we share with you in this issue.  And as part of our effort to pick up a bit from CreamLine, our Cheesemaker Check-in is a conversation with Ruth Monforte, of Monforte Dairy in Ontario.

You’ll notice that this issue of Cheese Enthusiast is bigger than ever before.  We’re increasing the size of each issue by about 50% as we move to quarterly publications.  Why are we making this change?  It takes a lot of effort to get each issue out and life has managed to get in the way several times during this past year, making it difficult to publish six times per year.  Additionally, we’ve realized that the reason we took on Cheese Enthusiast was to share the joy of home cheesemaking, but we’ve been unable to make much cheese ourselves anymore because CE has filled up many of our weekends.  With our new schedule, subscribers will actually get more content on average each year, but the publication will arrive a little less frequently.  Subscriptions will remain at $30/year, since we will not be reducing content.  For current subscribers, we’ll number this issue and the one after next as “double issues” to keep us in sync.
