Oh, mama! Some say ‘Eww’ to his cheese wizardry

Human cheese may sound more Hannibal Lecter than haute cuisine, but it’s an intriguing new menu item at a fancy New York City eatery.

No humans were harmed in the making of the novel new dish; rather, mommy’s milk supplies the dairy quotient for the little canapé offered up by Chef Daniel Angerer at his Klee Brasserie.

Noted chef Angerer, who once bested Bobby Flay on Food Network’s “Iron Chef” reality competition, says necessity was the mother of invention for his new dish — and in this case, the mother was his wife, Lori Mason. The couple realized their freezer was overflowing with breast milk as their baby daughter Arabella turned 4 weeks old.
