Let There Be Cheese with Marie Fromage (Episode 1) — Welcome & Meet Your Host, Mary Connolly
In the first episode of Let There Be Cheese, host Mary Connolly (aka Marie Fromage) introduces a podcast about cheese from the perspective of someone who lives in Montclair, New Jersey - exploring where to find great cheese, what makes it great, and what to do with it at home, with excursions across New Jersey, into New York City, and on road trips and travel abroad.
Connolly shares her background: growing up in Montclair, working at the Cheese Shop of Upper Montclair where she fell in love with artisanal cheese, pursuing a singing career, earning a culinary degree from the French Culinary Institute and teaching and hosting cheese events in Montclair and New York City.
