Oh man, food microhistories are so much fun to read. It’s a love letter to milk from someone who really REALLY loves the stuff. I was already a diehard raw milk fan and have tried my hand at making various dairy products from scratch from it, but now my eyes have been opened even more to so many amazing ways in which dairy can be used and appreciated. My mouth was watering the whole time. Although many of the recipes are too fancy/specialty for me, I’m feeling thoroughly inspired after reading through them. I had no idea dairy was so diverse and spans across the cuisines of the entire world to the extent that it does. Really enjoyed learning more about this realm.
