A few days ago, I received a parcel in the post that contained my basic hard cheese making kit. I opened it. It scared me. I put on the counter for the next three days to contemplate it.
Last night, I decided that the time had come to face my fears of failing the basic cheese making attempt. I decided that if I was going to do this, I was going to jump in with both feet. I chose cheddar cheese curds. They took four hours to make, and...they were a flop. But! I did figure out what I would do differently next time to make them lovely. I decided to make one more attempt before the night was through and used the left over whey to make a delicious bit of ricotta, which did turn out lovely.
Today, I think I will delve into the world of mozzarella and cottage cheese...
