The HRN community is heartbroken to share the news that Anne Saxelby passed away on Saturday, October 9th. Anne was the founder and co-owner of Saxelby Cheesemongers, New York City’s first shop dedicated to selling only American artisan cheeses. She was one of HRN’s first hosts, and created Cutting the Curd, a podcast celebrating everything about cheese which has been continuously produced on the network for over a decade.

Anne Saxelby is our quest to discuss her new book, " The New Rules of Cheese: A freewheeling and Informative Guide." It's an interesting book with a wide scope of topics.
