Quotes by Edgar Franklin

“Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.””

“his book, Curry cites multiple examples of people who chose love as their response to seemingly hopeless situations”

“Franklin is known for Teleme.””

“Franklin’s Teleme (not Peluso’s Teleme): Franklin Peluso is the third-generation cheesemaker of this California classic. I worked an event for Franklin once and was amazed. Every Italian American coming up to the booth and a few years older than I am said almost the exact same thing, “Teleme! I grew up on this stuff!” Similar to an Italian Crescenza (or, if you can imagine, an unwashed Taleggio), this cheese is milky, sweet, and a little sour. Wannabe cheese snobs will not be impressed by this cheese because it is not strong in any way. But what it does have is integrity and presence. Amazing for cooking, great with fruit, often the first thing gone from a cheese plate. You can’t pretense it up with this honest cheese, but I always have a quarter wheel in my fridge. [$$, Similar cheese: Bloomy-rind Robiola (Italy), Crescenza (Italy and US).]””
