Book Reviews of And That's How You Make Cheese!
Book Review: A new hobby that's fun for kids too.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not even sure how I happened upon this book, but I ended up buying it out of curiosity. It's been a great little guide to making some great cheeses. The best part is that I was able to get our kids involved and make some of their favorite cheeses. Most Americans have no idea how cheese is made. But, my kids now do and they ask all the time when the last cheese we made will be ready to eat. Everything we've made has been excellent so far. If value is the most important thing, this is worth far more than its price in toys or knowledge.Book Review: Bare bones & basic
Summary: 3 Stars
I realise that I'm going against the flow, but I found this book disappointing! The overall quality of presentation was not high and its B & W pictures almost look like photocopies! Sure he explains his recipes simply, but so do other books of higher quality, available here for not many more $. I'd recommend anyone considering purchasing books on this subject buy Ricki Carroll's latest book, or Barbara Ciletti's! They are much better in presentation and Ciletti's is full colour throughout!Book Review: Wonderful Starter Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot say enough about this book. It is printed in clear, easy-to-understand language. I had already purchased "Cheesemaking Made Easy" and it certainly wasn't that! This book was helpful, easy to follow, and helped me make great cheeses on my first try. I had one question about a recipe and the author emailed me back an answer that day! He really seems to care about the subject and his readers. A definate "Thumbs-Up!"Book Review: Better than the rest for a beginner!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not sure what the reviewer below is talking about. I have both this and Carroll's book and this one is most definately the better one for beginners. It is clearly laid out, in a logical order and has 30 different recipes plus some special ones such as Caraway Swiss, which is divine! I found Carroll's book to be good, but confusing when I first started as the book seems to be more for folks who already have done this before.Book Review: Fun and Interesting - Buy It!
Summary: 5 Stars
A great cookbook of the unusual kind! Who ever thinks about making their own cheese? I ordered this book thinking it may be fun with my kids and it was! You won't regret it... it's a hobby you will continue. The kids had fun, but I love making the grown up cheeses like Blue & Gouda. They have all turned out wonderful, much better than anything in a grocery store. You will be surprised! Buy it & have fun!
