Mastering Basic Cheesemaking

I bought this book but I didn't find so much important imformation in this book,stop selling this book to not decieve people

If you are getting into cheese making at home you need this book! Gianaclis doesn't just give you a basic information base but dives right into what you are doing, why you are doing it, and what is, or could be going wrong, if it happens. This is not a recipe book of cheeses but a book to understand why and to build on. It also gives you the insight to look at a recipe you may come across and understand if it is any good. There are plenty of cheesemaking recipes out there on the internet that are fundamentally flawed! Buy it, read it, then re-read it as you progress.

I cannot recommend “Mastering Basic Cheesemaking” highly enough. 2 months ago I was a complete novice at cheesemaking, having never even made homemade yogurt. But thanks to this fabulous book I have now successfully made not only homemade yogurt, but also ricotta, paneer, cream cheese, and creme fraiche, as well as mozzarella, burrata, feta, and farmhouse cheese! I particularly like how the book is organized into lessons, where recipes progress from very basic to more advanced by building on techniques learned with prior recipes. As a novice, this lesson format has not only helped my learning process by reinforcing the common steps in cheesemaking, but has also given me the confidence to try increasingly challenging recipes. In addition to the organization of the book, I also just really like the recipes. They are clear and well-written, beautifully photographed, work just as described, and are delicious! Both the feta and farmhouse cheeses, which I made last week, are as good if not better than most commercially-made cheese (and my friends and family who have sampled them agree!). If you, like me, have always been intrigued by cheesemaking but felt too intimidated by it to give it a try, this is definitely the book for you!

It is an absolute delight to read a book where the author, Gianaclis Caldwell, passes on so much knowledge and in such a logical structure! I very highly recommend this book.
