 I really enjoy this book. April 19, 2008

I disagree with the person who wrote that the recipes were confusing and hard to follow. I think it's very easy to follow. I would definitely suggest reading the introduction before jumping right in. But overall I've found the book really useful and it has introduced me to a fun new hobby.
A lot of the old world recipes and traditions are being slowly lost in the world of fast food and frozen peanut butter sandwiches. I'm really happy this book exists and I can learn this process. It makes me appreciate the time and effort that goes into things like this. It's very easy to forget where that plastic bag of shredded taco cheese started.

OK so I like cheese and tried to look up some info on one type on the web by searching for a Cheese Forum but amazingly couldn't find one . . . which led to me learn how to build websites and a forum . . . which led me to build one called [...] with a forum and info and pictures on over 1000 cheese plus tonnes of other stuff . . . which led me to wanting to make cheese . . . which led me to buy this excellent book off of Amazon . . . which led to me making several cheese with pictures and direction posted in the forum . . . life is interesting in the roads one takes!
If you are interested in anything Cheese please have a look, join in and send me recommendations and ideas!

This book takes the mystery and fear out of cheesemaking. In easy to follow step by step instructions, Ricky Carroll teaches all the basics needed to make a variety of cheeses from very easy soft cream cheeses, through mold and bacteria ripened cheeses to hard cheeses. The writing style is clear and easy to follow, making it the ideal beginning book. In the several months since purchasing this book (I learned about it through the book "Animal Vegetable Miracle"), I have tried over a dozen recipes, with great success...Mozzarella, Cheddar, Gouda, Ricotta, Cream cheese, Feta, Kefir, Yogurt cheese, Paneer, Quesa blanca, Mysost and more! I even figured out how to make my own recipes for string cheese and cheese curds, based on the information the book contains. If you are new to cheese making, her website and DVD are helpful. Furthermore, if you have questions or problems, Ricky and her staff give excellent cheese making advice online.
