About “It’s Not You, it’s Brie”

It’s Not You, it’s Brie” is written by Kirstin Jackson, a professionally trained cook, wine bar manager and cheese program director, food and wine writer, consultant, and instructor, whose fridge and head is almost entirely consumed with cheese. She blames her parents, who took her on trips to the California dairy country at a very young age, for feeding the obsession, and dually thanks them for bringing her back pounds of Joe Matos St. George cheese when she’s unable to unaccompany them on current trips.

This cheese blog was lovingly launched in April 2009 after Kirstin spent two years writing Vindelatable.blogspot.com and realized that she ached to nurture other passions beyond wine on the blogosphere. Like cheese.

The recipes:

Unless otherwise noted, the recipes in “It’s Not You, it’s Brie” are original and inspired by Kirstin’s years of cooking professionally and at home.

Sign up for Kirstin’s “It’s Not You, it’s Brie” Twitter and facebook feeds, where she’ll share everything from the arrival of a hard-to-get cheese at a lcoal store, to days she’s teaching cheese and wine classes in the Bay Area and her excitement over the cheeses she’s recently tried.

About the design and technology:

The blog utilizes the thesis wordpress template and was created with amazing amounts of design help of Krista Roark from Green District Design and much technological consideration from Stephanie Stiavetti of Wasabimon.

The title:

After brainstorming with some co-workers, my friend/ The Title Master came up with “It’s Not You, it’s Brie.” I’d like to claim that I thought of it, and I certainly will when in a foreign country whose inhabitants find humor in the title, but until then, Jason Lefler has the magic cheese title power.

Have a question?

Perhaps I can answer it. Unless it has something to do with camel cheese (which is apparently digested easier than cow’s milk by the lactose intolerant) or small hippopotamuses, I’ll certainly pretend that I can.  Contact me at itsnotyouitsbrie@gmail.com
