'Praise for A Cheesemonger's History of the British Isles:

A delightful and informative romp through centuries of British cheesemaking ... it would make a fine Christmas present, along with a wedge of SparkenhoeRed Leicester' - Bee Wislon

'Palmer writes with pace and passion, and his encounters with modern-day practitioners fizz with infectious delight ... Full of flavour.' - Sunday Times

'Part history, part travelogue and part tasting menu ... an utter delight, rousing, infectiously impassioned and inspiring.' - Stephanie Sy-Quia

'I hugely enjoyed [this] engaging, learned, funny, surprising book. Palmer wears his extraordinary range of knowledge lightly, but he is serious too. His book is history from below, from the perspective of daily life ... the best kind of social history, the kind you can eat' - John Lanchester

'A beautifully textured tour around the cheeseboard' - Simon Garfield
