About this item

How to create fresh and delicious dairy products in the home kitchen. Backhome Magazine praised the Made At Home series for its "uncomplicated and easy-to-understand format that is designed to encourage rather than intimidate the reader." Continuing that format, this new title shows how shoppers can avoid the dairy cooler and make their own creamy products. Cheese and Dairy has six sections, beginning with guidance on how to set up a dairy in a home kitchen for cooking, airing, drying, and aging, the equipment needed, and using starter cultures. Two sections, Milk and Cream, cover the types of milk (cow, sheep, goat, buffalo), cooking, souring and storage. Simple instructions show how to make sour cream, crme frache and more, and recipes include Portuguese Custard Tarts, Spinach Soup and Strawberry Milkshake.
