Readers who are interested in recipes using goat cheeses and other cheeses made on the Tomales Farmstead Creamery will want to pick up an interesting cookbook, Feasts on the Farm: Over 60 Seasonal Recipes and Stories of Sustainable Farming from Tomales Farmstead Creamery. While this cookbook has stories and interesting facts about living on a farm, it also includes recipes. The recipes aren’t however, doable in most home kitchens because most (not all) of the recipes call for difficult to find ingredients, especially special cheeses that are featured at the Tomales Farmstead Creamery. Most of us don’t have access to them, or must order them online. I’m sure the cheeses are of the highest quality and taste wonderful, but they are more expensive than most of us can afford.

The recipes are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions to make them easy to follow. With that said, many aren’t recipes that regular people would make. Some are gourmet, some are not particularly appealing, and some are cost prohibitive.

The book, however has beautiful photographs, not only of the dishes, but also of scenes from the farm, including goats, which they raise for many of their cheeses; those goats are adorable.

This is a book that is fun to read, and one to curl up in a corner to enjoy. Most of the recipes aren’t that appealing.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.
