Making Your Own Cheese: How to Make All Kinds of Cheeses in Your Own Home Paperback – April 15, 2011

good but for learning about cheese.

Great little book. I spotted it at the library and hotfooted it home to download onto kindle. It has a simple easy to follow format.

Very good book for a good price. I actually bought this book for my son and he will use it to make cheese. We have a milk cow.

I bought this book, by chance, as I had no idea whatsoever, of where to start, with regards to cheesemaking.Within four weeks, I made two seperate lots of Cheddar cheese. The first one, which I have just tasted, is most certainly a very passable cheese indeed.Paul takes you through each stage, with words of simpathy. It is almost as though he is there with you, step by step and stage by stage. He covers subjects like, the history, how to, what you need and what various ingredient do, and why?The book also includes, a huge variety of cheeses. Cheeses to suit all palettes from the mildest, all the way through to, potentially, the strongest.I cannot speak more highly of the book. Although, if I were to have any critisism, at all, then it would be that, there are no recommended suppliers or resources. But then, that is only nit-picking.An excellent book, for all levels of ability.

This is one of those books that feels a little padded out. For example, there's a section on cooking with cheese, which is absolutely not what I wanted. However, the actual cheese-making advice appears solid.

Really nice book! Cheese making kits and ingredients bought straightaway and ready to create!

A rather average book. The recipes are short with very little detail. There are inconsistencies such as saying you can replace mesophilic culture with yoghurt, whereas yoghurt is a thermophilic culture. The book is padded out with recipes for cooking with cheese. I wouldn’t recommend this one. There are better books available.

I bought this based on reviews of others and as a complete cheesemaking novice. There is enough information given to produce cheese and on that basis I think it is a good purchase. I have only made cheddar so far and although I had a few questions during the production process it would seem, from the end result, that the instructions given are adequate if you also apply common sense.
