I'm sure I'm not the only person who has passionately
believed that cheesemaking was once their true calling.
I had even planned to move across the country, figure
out how to source milk, and tend my own herd of sheep
or cows before I reluctantly came to terms with the fact
that writing about the irresistible food of the gods is
the closest I would ever come to making a wheel. But
that is not the case for three cheesemakers who left
their respective careers teaching high school French
in Maine, practicing law in Chicago and New York, and
practicing healthcare in California. For every cheese
lover out there, we can all be grateful for these brave
career-changers who have successfully taken the leap!
