My Mother Served Gouda When Company Came

Sometimes a square of American cheese sandwiched between two slices of Wonder Bread is more than just lunch—it’s a hand-held manifestation of family and love.

My Mother Served Gouda celebrates the foods and flavors that punctuate our lives and memories—viewed through the fresh lens of our favorite cheeses. Regardless of your own relationship with cheese, you’ll see yourself in these touching stories of teen heartbreak, young adult self-exploration, and the struggles of motherhood.

Gouda will appeal to food lovers, life lovers—and even the lactose intolerant.

Author Lisa Goell Sinicki writes about the moments that imprint in our memories and transform understanding—the events that deliver dreams, break hearts, make us laugh at ourselves, or reveal that we’re our own worst enemies. Her recognitions include a Maine Literary Award and various business writing accolades. This is her first book.
