The Big Cheese
Many years ago, in a supermarket somewhere in Asia, I heard a terrifying scream. I hurried in the direction of the sound and found a tear-stained, trembling man on his knees facing the deli counter. As I lay my hand on his shoulder he looked up at me and, in a strained whisper said, “But there is no cheese. Where is the cheese?”

The Big Cheese - Part Two
Fourme d’Ambert:
One of the oldest and most respected French blue cheeses, it has been pleasuring humanity since Roman times. It tastes exactly as a cheese that’s been around for thousands of years should. Handsome, pungent and great in salads, sandwiches, crepes and on its own, this pasty and mad good cheese is not too mild, not too strong. (Find at Au Delice, Oasis)

Tra
The story of tea in Vietnam has already been written. Kieu Van Lu grips it delicately in his aged hands. He flips through the pages of handwritten stories, histories and notations on tea culture in Vietnam. The book has been a work in progress since 1998 and contains a lifetime of research. This manuscript is the third he's written by hand and, at 82 years-old, he hopes to pass it down to the next generation. It would be a loss for society if the dedication and love he has for tea and the culture it breeds is not inherited.
