Popped into Lakeland on the way to the hotel and spent a £20 GV on a How to Make Soft Cheese book, 2 cheese moulds, rennet and butter muslin squares - looking forward to making cheese in the New Year :cool:
Although I've just flicked through the book and the author says "Remember, cheese making is not a science..." so I'm not sure how good the book actually is... :think:

Do let us know how the cheese making goes, I have always wanted to have a go.Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0 -
De-lurking to say please let us know how you get on with the cheese-making, something I would love to try (would have to hide it from OH though) 0

I experimented with cheese making a while back - just the sort you make with vinegar, not going into all the rennet - good luck with it!2023: the year I get to buy a car0
