If you've read this blog for any time now, you know how much I love cheese! And after weeks of working out a new (for me) way to share this great passion with you, I've finally done it. Three virtual workshops, which I've entitled, French Cheese Fundamentals , are online and available on Eventbrite . They've been up for a few days, but I've haven't had the chance to share them here yet. Part One is the Basics , a Cheese 101 that covers history, terminology, the French cheese families, seasonality - it's a lot of practical, nerdy information. Part Two is all about creating Cheese Boards . You'll learn about tasting, serving, slicing, shopping and building beautiful boards. Part Three is about  Pairing cheese with wine, other beverages and food. Even though there are no hard and fast rules, there is plenty of information to learn about creating delicious flavor marriages.  I'm keeping the numbers limited to just 15 screens for a more personal experien...

I resisted. Boy did I resist! The idea of going virtual with cheese "tastings," both during and after the lockdown in France, was completely overwhelming to me and I just didn't know how to make that transition. Several friends offered advice, but I was stubbornly closed to the idea. Then something changed.  Part of it was the positive reaction from the guest post I wrote listing my Top Ten French Cheeses for David Lebovitz's  fabulous blog. Additionally, Context Travel, who I was about to start doing tours with back in March, asked if I would join them as their online cheese connoisseur. So, I'll be going live on September 27 with a deep dive into all things cheese-y at From Camembert to Chèvre: An Exploration of French Cheese.  Hope to see you there!
