Authors: Anne Mendelson
More steering came from fellow culinary historians and other dairy-history buffs including Gary Allen, Darra Goldstein, Annie Hauck-Lawson, Lisa Heldke, Ben Katchor, Rachel Laudan, Jan Longone, Sandra L. Oliver, Krishnendu Ray, Laura Shapiro, William Rubel, Robin Weir, and many, many members of the Association for the Study of Food and Society (ASFS) listserv.
My very great thanks to many cooks, culinary experts, and assorted colleagues and friends, including Joan Bolker, Cara De Silva, Naomi Duguid, Nicki Kalish, Leslie Land, Zarela Martínez, Lynda Owen, Maricel E. Presilla, Nachammai Raman, and Susan J. Talbutt.
Culinary works for a general audience can’t accommodate the sort of reference apparatus that one expects in works of scholarship—a drawback, perhaps, in a cookbook that strays as far into polemical territory as this one. Readers interested in finding out more about milk and its history will find paths to further learning in the works listed below. I will be happy to direct people frustrated by the absence of documentation for particular factual claims to specific sources; please write to me at
