Edible Radio's Kate Manchester talks to Gordon Edgar, whose book  
"Cheesemonger: A Life on the Wedge," has just been published. Edgar,  
whose tag line is "punk rock made me a cheesemonger," lucks his way  
into a cheese buyer position at Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco and  
slowly transforms a once-pedestrian assortment into a world-class  
fromagerie. More travelogue than cheese review, Cheesemonger is the  
story of Gordon's trips to regional dairies for an intimate look at  
the artisan cheese movement. At one farm he’s excited to see cows  
eating their way through spring grasses, and bemoans the fact that  
seasonal cheeses are a dying breed, a victim of large-scale production  
and international free trade.
