Book Reviews of Making Cheese, Butter & Yogurt (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin, a-283)
Book Review: Great Starter Book
Summary: 5 Stars
We've been making wine for several months now and have been thinking about trying to make cheese. This is a great book to use if you don't have a kit to work with. So many different recipes, we can't wait to get started!Book Review: Not the Book You Need to Learn to Make Cheese
Summary: 2 Stars
While making cheese at home may be the author's passion and gift, writing about it and laying out instructions for the uninitiated is clearly far out of bounds for her. I'm glad to have found that she (and her mission) exist, but this book as well as the others of hers I've purchased don't impart the strict details required to make cheese successfully. I've learned much more from "And That's How You Make Cheese," "Practical Cheesemaking" and "Making Artisan Cheese: Fifty Fine Cheeses That You Can Make in Your Own Kitchen."
Specifically, her work leaves out vital information, either assuming you know it or simply overlooks imparting it in the text. You can't learn to make cheese from a mere 30 pages unless you're already beyond the need for the book. To be successful yourself, see one of the titles I've previously listed.
Book Review: Making Cheese at home
Summary: 4 Stars
I have made two recipes from this book so far. Both were written in an easy to understand format and required no special equipment. Both turned out correct. I did, however, need to add salt (not mentioned) to the finished products.
I intend to try other recipes that are a little more involved in the near future.
Book Review: making cheese
Summary: 3 Stars
good book, well written. My only complaint is that I want to make a little bit of cheese at home for fun and the recipes all start with a gallon of milk. I'm going to try the 30 min. mazarella and cut down the amounts listed.Book Review: Super Cheese
Summary: 5 Stars
This kit helped us make super delicious cheeses. The mozzarella was excellent, so was the ricotta. We are experimenting with american cheese right now. Next will be cheddar. My entire family has enjoyed learning about the making of cheeses as well as the sampling of our efforts.
