Audition Tape: Mimi Praise Cheeses

If her life was a board game, it would be called Culinary Pursuit. Melissa Schilling developed an early passion for food and wine from her Italian grandfather eating after school snacks of cod and crackers while other children enjoyed cookies and milk. The cod prepared her well for a cooking school stint in the Basque Country of Spain. Earning her Master of Science degree in Agriculture, from Cal Poly, cemented her love of terroir, microclimates, heirloom vegetables and of course CHEESE!

Melissa is working on a Culinary Roadtrip Cookbook (sipsnapsavor.net). She also teaches consumable art classes through her consulting business, Praise Cheeses (praisecheeses.net)
