This book takes the mystery and fear out of cheesemaking. In easy to follow step by step instructions, Ricky Carroll teaches all the basics needed to make a variety of cheeses from very easy soft cream cheeses, through mold and bacteria ripened cheeses to hard cheeses. The writing style is clear and easy to follow, making it the ideal beginning book. In the several months since purchasing this book (I learned about it through the book "Animal Vegetable Miracle"), I have tried over a dozen recipes, with great success...Mozzarella, Cheddar, Gouda, Ricotta, Cream cheese, Feta, Kefir, Yogurt cheese, Paneer, Quesa blanca, Mysost and more! I even figured out how to make my own recipes for string cheese and cheese curds, based on the information the book contains. If you are new to cheese making, her website and DVD are helpful. Furthermore, if you have questions or problems, Ricky and her staff give excellent cheese making advice online.

Oh Ricki your so fine!! This book is the best I have purchased so far. The recipes are spot on and I have made many wonderful cheeses from this book. Although I still cant master the 30 min Mozzerella! This book is so good I have even purchased one for my Cheesemaker teacher in Brisbane. Love the different recipes for cream cheese. The Bondon is so easy and delicious. Buy this book first and then build up your library with the others.
Perfect for Beginners and Experts Alike November 29, 2007

I cannot rave enough about this book. Ricki Carroll strikes the perfect balance in this simple and entertaining guide, providing a resource that is perfect for the beginner who has never made cheese before to the expert who makes and sells cheese for a living, to everyone in between. The illustrations are clear and incredibly helpful; none of this "What's going on in this picture here?" The recipes are many and varied, and the little side notes from people who've written Ricki about her book at a delight to read.
Glorious, glorious cheese... November 7, 2007

I was led to this book by Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver, who wrote of visiting Ms Carroll's workshop while spending a year living off of her land. I found that chapter so compelling, I sought out more information. This book is right up my alley: the recipes are clearly written, and there is anecdotal information from amateur/pro cheesemakers interspersed throughout, making me feel like part of a community. From soft to hard cheese, cow to goat's milk,easy to difficult--I felt gently taken by the hand, and led into a brand new world.
