I bought this book after having purchased starter, lipase and rennet from another cheese supply company. Ricki owns and operates New England Cheesemaking and sells everything one needs to make cheese including starter in pre-measured packets. I was terribly disappointed to find that in her book, every recipe gives the measurement for starter in packets! br / br /I wrote in to her website only to receive no answer. My next step is a phone call. I have the book and unless I find out how much starter is in each package, it's useless. br / br /The recipes look nice, the book is well laid out and easy to understand, but I take issue with her attempting to get me to buy supplies only from her. There is more than one kind of lipase available, she only discusses the one she sells. What about us folks who have already purchased starter from someone else? How about a measurement in teaspoons? Or a conversion chart - not too difficult to do. br / br /My advice? If you are planning to buy this book, plan to buy starter from Ricki. It's more expensive, but you won't have the headache of trying to figure out the conversions.
 it really gets you on your way to making cheese November 3, 2008

Definitely a great book for those looking to get into cheese making and learning some basics. Though, I would be nice if it got a little more into the science of each step, as this is important to know and especially when u would want to replicate cheeses. I've found, lots of questions after reading the book, which I fulfill by searching the web. Seems not enough people make homemade cheese though! One site I find my self regularly visiting to help in my cheese making endeavors is http://cheeseforum.org/
 perfect for the home cheesemaker ready to try more advanced cheeses October 14, 2008
Nurst (Atlanta, GA)
This is an excellent book and is well suited for the beginning cheese maker who has made a few cheeses and is ready to try some more advanced cheeses. The non-recipe sections of the book offer basic cheese making advice, troubleshooting tips, and a course overview of the cheese making process (no substitute for the very basic step-by-step instructions included in most beginning cheese making kits). However, once you've learned the basic cheese making process, this book will enable you to take your cheeses to the next level. The included recipes rely on a firm foundation of the steps involved, but provide all the details necessary to make these fabulous more advanced cheeses. My only complaint is that I wish they had covered even more varieties of cheese! br /

I really like this book, it was written for me, someone with no experience making cheese. I will be using it a lot. I have other cheese making books and they are good as well, but this one makes me feel confident I will succeed at making cheese.
