I ordered a basic cheese making kit several years ago but was so overwhelmed by the instructions I found on the internet I never got started. After reading through this book I feel confident I can do this. So well written with step by step instructions, I know I can do this. Just waiting on an order to arrive and I'm off!

United StatesWonderful Book
I recently purchased this Mastering Basic Cheesemaking because I’ve always been interested in cheesemaking, but I was always intimidated by the process. Fortunately, I gained the confidence after reading this book cover to cover! I’ve had the book for about a month and I’ve already made ricotta twice, and have plans to make mozzarella and feta in the near future. I’m so grateful that I found this resource, and I look forward to creating more delicious cheeses very soon!
