Great book for home cheesemakers. I started out on the internet on Rikki
Carroll's website [...] and learned a lot to start off.The book gives you more detail and lots of recipes to try..Highly Recommended!

I would have liked to have been told that Cheesemaking Made Easy is basically the same book as Home Cheesemaking (by same author), only the latter is new and improved. This is not made clear on the website, and I unfortunately ordered both.
Good, but can be confusing to a beginner April 30, 2001

I bought this book along with Barbara Ciletti's "Making Great Cheese" (out of print at the time of this review) and Shane Sokol's "And That's How You Make Cheese!" While this book was good and had many recipes, "And That's How You Make Cheese!" was easier to start with. It has easier, fully explained recipes. It does have fewer recipes, about 30, but all the popular cheeses are included. In short, this is a good book for the experienced, but if you are just starting, try "And That's How You Make Cheese!" first. Or buy both like I did, they'll compliment well.
Excellent beginners' book August 18, 1999

This is a wonderful introduction to cheesemaking. As noted in another reader's review, the authors are pragmatic and candid: they tell you what's involved so you won't get in over your head because of ignorance. The authors also offer cheesemaking workshops, including both beginner and intermediate.
 Very informative but of limited practical use May 14, 1999

Once upon a time, I tried to get my hands on cheesemaking. Having mastered winemaking and homebrewing with some success and being an avid hobby chef, I thought that can't be too difficult. However, after having bought some basic supplies, I quickly realized that the process of making cheese is far from trivial.
Then I got this book, which was very enlightening in terms of my understanding of how cheese is made, but it helped me little to improve my cheesemaking skills. The best advice I ever got in that pursuit was talking to a Swiss "Senn" in the Glarner Mountains and then I gave up on cheesemaking....
In summary: a nice book if you want some insight into the cheesemaking process, but on the "how-to" side, the book is of limited use once you have gone past your first steps.
