Dora Saker[edit]
1917 cheese press from Somerset
- ... that following its recent rediscovery, Dora Saker's 1917 book Practical Cheddar Cheese-making, has "quickly acquired cult status amongst farmhouse cheese-makers"?

The source, a book published by Oxford Symposium, is good and correct. I initially questioned if a statement published in 2011 about a 'recent rediscovery' qualifies describing it as a 'recent rediscovery' in Wikipedia's voice, however, if judged on the vast scale of cheesemaking, I suppose that is probably accurate. The hook is certainly interesting. The article, created on December 30, is new enough. It is also long enough and NPOV. There are no signs of copyvio. QPQ done. The 1917 image of the book cover is tagged as "ineligible for copyright". Chetsford (talk) 21:38, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, I changed the picture to something more interesting. I think the book was rediscovered among cheese-makers sometime after 2000. It was never really lost, just forgotten, and relates to the modern interest in locally produced "artisan" products. I still have to do the QPQ. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:50, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
