Dirty Martinis, Cheese Boards & Instant Friendship with Cheese Gal Cortney LaCorte

Cortney LaCorte, better known as Cheese Gal, joins me for the most fun conversation, covering everything from her 30-day dirty martini journey, to couch snacks, to the virtues of French butter, to cheese boards. Within minutes, I felt like I had known her forever and we became instant friends, already planning a girls trip to the Greenbrier and Paris in the future. Her new cookbook is called Oversharing, and that's exactly what we did in this episode.
