About Morgan
Morgan judging at the World Cheese Awards, Bergamo, Italy.
With 20 years behind the counter, more than 60 cheese competitions judged around the world, and a career spanning television and publishing, Morgan McGlynn Carr is the most authoritative cheese voice in the United Kingdom.
Cheeses of Muswell Hill, the award-winning family cheese shop in North London where Morgan started at 17, has been the beating heart of everything she does for two decades. It's where the expertise was built: one conversation, one tasting, one supplier relationship at a time.
For twelve years, Morgan has been the resident cheese expert on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch, bringing the complexity and joy of great cheese to millions of viewers weekly. Her approach is never precious, always precise. She believes the gap between intimidating and approachable is simply good communication, and that has become her signature.
Morgan has judged more than 60 cheese competitions around the world, including thirteen years at the World Cheese Awards, where she has assessed hundreds of entries from producers across the globe in locations from Bergamo to Bergen. It's a role requiring not just palate, but deep technical knowledge of how milk, environment, culture, and time interact to create something truly worth eating.
Her three published books have established her as a defining voice in cheese literature. Simon Rimmer called her a special talent from the first meeting. Gizzi Erskine named her the undisputed Queen of Cheese. Her forthcoming title, The Cheese Lover's Almanac, takes a 365-day seasonal approach, weaving together Michelin-level recipes, personal narrative, and global tradition.
The Shop
Morgan opened Cheeses of Muswell Hill at 21, becoming Britain's youngest female cheesemonger. Twenty years later it remains one of London's most beloved independent food destinations.
The shop is the foundation of everything. Every book, every television appearance, every World Cheese Awards assessment traces back to what Morgan learned behind this counter in North London. Cheeses of Muswell Hill stocks an exceptional range of British and European cheeses, sourced directly from the independent producers she has spent two decades building relationships with.
