About this deal

Through interviews, stories, recipes and photography, the book celebrates how British cheese is profoundly connected to the land, farm animals and people involved in making it.

They are a friendly bunch these cheese folk, and I’m sure they would be happy to chat about their cheeses. Birditt visits and documents dairies all over the British Isles, to look at the food, people and landscapes dedicated to cheeses. The farmhouse cheesemakers I have visited work to the highest levels of animal welfare, and many are looking to become more sustainable with what they are putting onto the land and feeding their animals for the best possible milk for cheesemaking.

However, as much as I moan about the production side of things, it opened up a world of food and drink as we visited local farmers markets and national food festivals selling our products. Angus’s authenticity, his passion for sustainable food and his respect for the people behind the products shine through.

There are plenty of organisations and charities out there that can help connect us with farmers and food producers.And each aspect (soil/land, pasture/feed, animal, milk quality, maker) is so variable, which makes cheese such a diverse and fascinating product. Ultimately, Our Isles is a platform to explore and appreciate subjects like artisan and regional food, nature, rural history and heritage. The countryside is where I find most of my inspiration for writing, photographing, curating and, well, eating!

A Portrait of British Cheese" is a must-read for anyone interested in the traditional cheesemaking community in the British Isles.

With beautiful photography, hearty cheese based recipes, and a new insight into each of these wonderful artisans, this will be treasured by anyone with a love of cheese, the countryside and traditional cooking. The book is rich with information and stunning photography, making it a beautiful addition to any coffee table. We hosted monthly supper clubs, often cooking 5 different courses each evening to celebrate the wonderful, regional food and drink we have in the British Isles.

I love trying regional food and travelling to different regions in the British Isles, so artisan cheese seemed to be the perfect food product that expressed the former and allowed me the excuse to travel. A Portrait Of British Cheese celebrates the excellence of artisan and farmhouse cheese in the British Isles, expressing it as a product of the land, its animals, and its people, offering a snapshot of rural life, traditions and delicious dishes.

This is a beautiful book celebrating iconic British cheesemakers that transports you across the British Isles with stunning photography and stories of culture, history and families.
