Book Launch: The Cheese Cure by Michael Finnerty

Michael Finnerty is a well-known London-based cheesemonger, journalist, and writer. After almost 30 years of success and acclaim in broadcasting at the CBC, BBC, and The Guardian, he found a zeal for cheese at Borough Market in London.

Anna Maria Tremonti is a long-time journalist who has travelled Canada and the world covering societal change, political upheaval, and armed conflict. She has worked in radio and television for decades, mostly with the CBC. She was the founding host of CBC Radio’s flagship current affairs program The Current for 17 years.

In dire need of change, journalist Michael Finnerty found himself ushered into the elusive world of cheesemongering and from there, forever transformed. A quest for passion and community meets deep knowledge and learning in Michael Finnerty’s The Cheese Cure, when the renowned journalist and radio presenter found something deeply lacking in the flavour of his life. What followed was a life-changing sabbatical in the historical halls of Borough Market filled with cheese-borne wisdom, eccentric characters, and a tale as gripping as it is heartfelt. A thriving mosaic of eclectic stories, passion, know-how, and serendipity, The Cheese Cure depicts a life lived to the fullest.
