A Rare Early Modern Cheese Manuscript with Alex Bamji

My guest today is Alex Bamji, Assistant Professor of Early Modern History at the University of Leeds, and we are talking about a rare treatise on cheese dating from the Early Modern Period. We met up at the Brotherton Library which is home to a fantastic collection of cookery books and manuscripts. We talk about cheese, health and humoral theory; what makes a good cheese; the early modern cheese landscape; cheese as a cure for gout; and cheese haters – plus many other things. Those listening to the secret podcast: Alex and I also talk about why cow’s milk is the best milk, and I wonder whether there any clues as to where their microbes are coming from.
