Learn How to Make Cheese

Have you always wanted to try making your own homemade cheese?  Are you a little freaked out by the thought of it?  I tried it once.  It wasn't pretty.  But that was a while ago and I'm ready to try again.

Here's what Chaya, one of my sponsors, says about making cheese:

Cheese Making can seem intimidating at first–but so did tying your shoes!  I once complained about how nervous I was about attempting it and a friend asked, “but you make yogurt, right?”  Even yet, I needed the extra coddling to get my nerve up, and that same friend taught me how to make soft cheese.  I was dumbfounded at its' simplicity, and regretted that I allowed myself to be so intimidated for so long.  Just the same, sometimes we all need that friend to teach us how…this soft making cheese kit does that!  It includes a book–and although I sell others about cheese making– this is my personal favorite because it starts at the very, very beginning!  The kit was created by both the Ploughshare Institute (which specializes in teaching the older skills) and by an artisan cheese company.  It is not designed for a one-time experience.  It is designed to teach you how to make cheese.  There is a difference!  Please take a look on our site and blog, where you'll find three separate articles about cheese making and supplies.  If you can tie your shoes, you can make cheese!”

Here are some cheese making kits!

    Yep I signed up, pinned it and FB’d it! While I don’t eat as much cheese as I used to, I have a love for cheese and always loved making things “from scratch” so am hopeful I am the winner. If not, this is one item I will add to my kitchen! thanks

    Hubby is the only one who has dairy right now in our family while we are healing our guts. I think I would set aside my envy and slight twinge of resentment and make him some, so I could try out this kit! Just for the fun of it!! What a fantastic idea for a giveaway.

    Kelly,
    Do you know what the citric acid powder that comes with the kit is? I thought that could be another name for MSG. Not sure. Just checking.

    I signed up for the newsletter…I would love to make more cheese. I have done mozzarella, ricotta and cottage with goats’ milk in the past, but now we have our own grass-fed cow, and lots of milk so we need to make it again!~

    Signed up for the Pantry newsletter. Have been trying to make cheese with goats milk an have fed alot out “cheese” to the chickens. Personally I think it is harder than tying my shoes. Maybe if I learned to make cheese right I may change my mind. Thanks for the giveaway.

    I entered to win the cheese making kit. I have tried several times before making and none were pretty–some were tasty–but…

    hubby and i have dreamed of making cheese together since our honeymoon. first we were busy getting our careers off the ground, then came the boys, who has time to make cheese when there’s barely time for dinner. i bought him two cheese making books for our 10 year anniversary, then 10 days later we started GAPS and were dairy free for more then 4 months. my youngest is still dairy free so our 11 year anniversary came and went and we are still not making cheese! eventually, i keep telling myself. we will all be able to eat dairy without being snot faces and needing inhalers, sigh.
