We are honored to share our butter recipes with you, as my daughter and I have created more than 40 sweet, savory, and novelty butters for you to enjoy.
Last year, a friend, Linda Trotta asked us if we could create compound butters to pair with her wines. She loved the butters so much that she asked us for the recipes. That was the inspiration for this book.
We chose the most beloved recipes to share with you, and we added our favorite serving suggestions and pairing suggestions for wine, beer, cocktails, and more.
This book will walk you through how to make fresh butter, cultured butter, and compound variations. By the end of reading this, you will be a buttermonger yourself!
"... Buttermonger is loaded with butter history, legend, lore, and anecdotes. It has everything you need to know to make butter at home. And last, but not least, 50 recipes for flavored butters: Bacon-Brown-Sugar Butter; Saffron-Honey Butter; Pear-Marsala Butter and so much more! Sheana has given her heart and soul to butter over the years, and it shows in the depth of her passion and knowledge. If you like to exercise your talents and abilities, you want to begin working with butter using skillful means, Buttermonger will set you up beautifully for success. Read a bit, bring what you learn into the kitchen, eat, experiment, and enjoy! " ~ Ari Weinzweig, Owner and founder of Zingerman's
"... It was an interesting journey learning to work with non traditional creams just as it was working with different milk types for cheese. Sheana’s Buttermonger will take you on that journey of butters, the subtleties in flavor, texture and mouthfeel. Enjoy the read." ~ Sid Cook, Master Cheese Maker and Butter Maker Carr Valley Cheese

We are honored to share our butter recipes with you, as my daughter and I have created more than 40 sweet, savory, and novelty butters for you to enjoy.
For almost 30 years now, we have provided these butters through the catering company and retail shop, and my daughter grew up working in butter and cheese here.
At our retail shop, we have a butter bar where you can sample and purchase different kinds of compound butter. We also host events and classes at our culinary center in Sonoma devoted to all things butter.
We chose the most beloved recipes to share with you, and we added our favorite serving suggestions and pairing suggestions for wine, beer, cocktails, and more.
It has been wonderful to write this book as a mother and daughter team, as together we worked hard to create the recipes for you to enjoy.
