“[A] charming debut, a thoughtful fusion of journalism and memoir. . . . Quinn’s curiosity and passion will delight foodies and fans of travelogues. . . . . A transportive love letter to the joys and complexities of these iconic fermented foods.” — Library Journal (starred review)

“Get ready to join my friend Katie on a wild trip through Europe as she dives headfirst into the world of fermentation. With her characteristic enthusiasm and wit, she introduces us to some of mankind's oldest and smallest allies—the microbial partners we rely on to transform milk into cheese, grapes into wine, and grain into bread.” — J. Kenji López-Alt, author of The Food Lab

“Katie Quinn takes the reader on a delicious journey in this meditation on cheese, wine, and bread, the fermented foods that are among the cornerstones of human culture. An erudite and enthusiastic look at the science, the creators, the issues, and the flavors that inform these daily staples.” — Fuchsia Dunlop, author of The Food of Sichuan

“Katie’s honest curiosity about food and the many ways it intersects with a culture’s identity is infectious. She is a dynamic and compelling storyteller who will surely inspire readers to go on their own culinary adventures. This is a fantastic new addition for food-driven travelers!” — Lindsey Tramuta, author of The New Parisienne

“Katie's writing is unique and immediately inviting, blending memoir with travel documentary with food-science study to illuminate the people and processes behind some of our favorite foods. Cheese, Wine, and Bread should be on any reading list for people who love food and travel, or who just want to know what makes the best mac and cheese tick.” — Kristen Miglore, author of Genius Recipes

National Television Praise for “Cheese, Wine, and Bread”

It all began with curiosity. A desire to explore some of humanity’s most ancient and essential food…

I didn’t know that I’d end up on NBC’S TODAY Show (left), ABC’s Good Morning America (below, left), and The Rachael Ray Show (below, right) talking about these things, and sharing what I learned from my journey.

I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to share these adventures with others on such a large scale, with the hopes of encouraging others to see the delight, craftsmanship, and history in these products, too! And I hope others follow their own curiosity after learning of my journey in the worlds of cheese, wine, and bread.
