When We Were Young Cheeseboard - Cheese Cuisine

Championing new and emerging authors and British artisan cheese

We search out fantastic books for the cheese loving reader then work with the authors to develop themed cheeseboards and wine pairings centred around their novels and personal tastes. There is also fantastic content to consume and special events with the authors that make our Fromage & Fiction community. So, get snuggled up in your favourite spot, enjoy a nibble, a glass and a good read. The perfect you time!

Richard Ropers second novel, When We Were Young, set against the idyllic backdrop of The Thames path, takes you on a darkly comical tour narrated by the two main characters Joel and Theo, who reconnect after one terrible night fracturing their friendship. Roper’s homage to the British sitcom, backed by his two flawed, yet endearing and relatable leads, alongside his natural prose and comical wit, led us to select When We Were Young for Fromage and Fiction. With an abundance of great artisan cheese producers along the Thames to choose from, it was a joy to create these pairings with Richard. The perfect combination for a picnic and read by the river!
