Day three of having goats....
« on: July 06, 2015, 11:13:18 am »
....and I have just made our first garlic and herb ricotta cheese. Lovely with home grown cucumber and tomato warm from the garden, and a slice of home made onion bread Used to make it with cows milk a couple of years ago but events took over my time. Now those events are going to have to take a back seat while I play with the milk from our very own girl.

I do love making my own cheese. :excited:  Yours looks lovely.


Can heartily recommend the "Artisan Cheesemaking at Home" book by Mary Karlin for beginners. I use it all the time. It has recipes that start from really simple and easy and gradually builds in complexity which I found a good way to learn.

Can't beat home made goats' milk cheese. I'm looking forward to starting again.


Kate, I was just thinking about your book and wondering what it was called.  :D

Looks fantastic. I keep Angoras for wool only, but now that is very very tempting.......

Not the same at all. This is so satisfying. Everything we do here delights us even if not always perfect, though sometimes a day off would be nice! :D

Thanks for the book recommendation
