The Cheesemaking Book

Paul Peacock, 2007, paperback, 152 pages

For the uninitiated cheese making seems a mixture of science, smoke and mirrors, yet it's an ancient craft that has been practiced on a small-scale in parlours and home dairies for generations with recipes passed down through the family line.  It is only relatively recently that cheese making has been automated and produced on a mass level, along with all our other foodstuffs.  Even Stilton, that King of Cheeses, had humble beginnings, being made in the kitchen by a Mrs Parlett and marketed by her husband.
Paul Peacock explains what equipment is needed and the science of making your first cheese - cottage style.  It includes different milks from goat and sheep, adding herbs and flavours, selling and showing cheese, the legal implications and gearing up for a larger scale operation.

£14.99
