Cheese making  by Rita Ash is a good starter book and once you get the basics, Butter and Cheesemaking by V. Cheke and A Sheppard is good but its quite an old book  :thumbsup:

I'm not sure whether this will help or not but I bought a cheesemaking book which tackles goats cheese, among others, plus the sience behind making it. Its called mastering artisan cheesemaking bygianaclis Caldwell. Its brilliant definately worth a read. I got it off eBay for £18. So for what it is not to expensive. All the best with cheesemaking, hopefully I shall be making mozzarella before too long :excited: and keep us updated?

I bought 200 easy homemade cheese receipes by Debra amrein-boyes. Haven't tried any yet but lots of goats cheese receipes along with many others and very clear instructions. Not many pics though.

These are some of our small waxed goats cheese, should keep for 3-4 months in the wax and yesterday we were bagging up feta cheese now we've mastered the brine  :thumbsup:
I say 'we' but I should say 'he' as I just do the waxing etc but he makes the cheese  :innocent:
