The Telling Room

a Story of Love, Betrayal, Revenge, and the World's Greatest Piece of Cheese
Mar 05, 2014
While working at the renowned Zingerman's deli in Ann Arbor, MI back in the early 90s, author Paterniti came across a remarkable Spanish cheese. Years later he was inspired to track down its creator, and so he set off for Spain. There the cheese maker recounts a surprisingly moving story of joy, family betrayal and vengeance, and so began Paterniti's decade-long quest to gather the whole story. The book has plenty to say about history and tradition, with plenty of fascinating asides into such topics as Spanish folklore, the history of cheese and even the creation of Pringles. Foodies will certainly enjoy this excellent book, as well as fans of quirky nonfiction (and we know there are many of you).
