Blessed Are The Cheesemakers - Tapa blanda

Blessed are Corrie and Fee, for theirs is the kingdom of the world’s tastiest farmhouse cheese. Tucked away in a corner of Ireland, the lifelong friends turn out batch after batch of perfect Coolarney Blues and Golds, thanks to co-operative cows, non-meat-eating fecund milkmaids, and the wind blowing just so in the right direction. Add to this mixture Corrie’s long-lost granddaughter Abbey, fresh from a remote but by no means backward island where her husband has been on a mission – although not quite the kind which Abbey had imagined. And stir in New Yorker Kit Stephens, heart-broken, burned-out and permanently hungover, and you have a recipe for disaster. The magic that Corrie and Fee weave in and out of the cheese vats is legendary, but can they use their powers to turn bitterness and betrayal into love – or will the secret ingredient be lost to Coolarney cheese forever?

Tucked away in a corner of Ireland, the lifelong friends turn out batch after batch of perfect Coolarney Blues and Golds, thanks to co-operative cows, non-meat-eating fecund milkmaids, songs from The Sound of Music and the wind blowing just so in the right direction across the green meadows of County Cork. Add to this mixture Corrie’s long-lost granddaughter Abbey, fleeing from a remote but by no means backward Pacific island and an unfaithful husband. And stir in New Yorker Kit Stephens, heart-broken, burned-out and looking for a purpose to his wasted life.
