Review Quotes: "For those who have wanted to make cheese at home but didn't know where to start, this book is for you. From rennet to cultures to equipment, Kate Downham supplies you with everything you need to know to make outstanding natural cheese!" Sally Fallon Morell, president, The Weston A. Price Foundation and cheesemaker, P A Bowen Farmstead"This is precisely the cheesemaking book I wish had existed when I started my cheesemaking journey years ago. Most books just give you a quick list of steps, with no real instruction, and it always leaves you wondering, why? Kate starts with the "whys" of cheesemaking, explaining each step and its purpose right from the start, giving you a solid cheesemaking foundation before diving into recipes." Ashley Adamant, Practical Self Reliance
"This book was so satisfying to my inner permie-nerd; Kate's zeal for natural cheeses is infectious as she guides you through in-depth overview of natural cheesemaking. Kate's book will leave you dreaming of making your own cheesy homestead delicacies. This book is well though-out and presented. As someone who is new to cheese making, it shares a wealth of knowledge but in a way that was captivating and encouraging. Kate's experience and expertise is only eclipsed by her passion and loved for natural small batch cheesemaking. This book has something for every cheese-lover; from absolute beginner to well 'aged' professional. " Ashley Cottonwood, staff reviewer at Permies.com
"One of the things I love about this book is that Kate manages to gear it toward both beginning and experienced cheesemakers. The first several chapters cover the concepts and fundamentals of making cheese. Don't miss these! Even if you've been making cheese for years and years, these chapters are loaded with many, many tidbits plus practical wisdom. I've been making cheese for the past decade, but I learned more useful information from Kate's book than I have anywhere else. The recipes are very well written; easy to understand and easy to follow. Once you're comfortable with the recipe, there are "quick-glance method for experienced cheesemakers" in the chapter margins. Very handy! The appendices include an extensive troubleshooting section and how to adapt ingredients to larger quantities of milk. I can honestly say this book is a "must have" for every homesteader who loves and wants to make cheese." Leigh Tate, 5 Acres And A Dream Publisher Marketing: Anyone can make cheese... Making home dairy products was an essential skill in the past, and a skill that continues to create resilience, reduce food costs, and provide healthy food in the face of supply disruptions and uncertainty.
