Cheese making

Ma · Guru

My Nanna used to make her own cheese and butter and all that good stuff with milk straight from the cow.

With the milk we get these days (Unless you have access to a cow of course) just wouldn't taste the same I reckon.

I would be very interested in "How To" if anyone knows.

Don't forget to pass on any tips Gordon when you get to do yours.

When I get home I'll post some of the links I've found if you want. I'm at work so on a different pc. Apparently though you can buy milk that has not be homenigzed (i know I've butchered that spelling).

Ma · Guru

That would be good thanks Gordon. I will take a look at them when I get home next week.

Wouldn't worry about the spelling too much I think we all know what you mean.

You can make it using Powdered Milk too.

Cheers,

Sheba.

I've made ricotta cheese, but I think I let the curds sit at the top of the soured milk for too while it was heating. The result was like chewing small bits of rubber! lol Think I need more practice!

I've had a bit of success with making labna, which is yoghurt wrapped in cheesecloth and strained over a bow in the frig for a day or two to get the liquid out. Don't know that it qualifies as cheese exactly but the vegetarian son in law can't get enough when he descends on us. Slathers it on toast with chilli jam.
