The Home Creamery: Make Your Own Fresh Dairy Products; Easy Recipes for Butter, Yogurt, Sour Cream, Creme Fraiche, Cream Cheese, Ricotta, and More! Paperback – June 18, 2008

Love the things I get to try and make. Love that it came with recipes too

This book is for you if you want to make fresh cheeses at home. You probably have most items already in your kitchen to make cheese. Simple instructions, not complicated to follow and a great activity to do with the grandkids, teaching them the importance of making your own food. It is an awesome resource on my cookbook shelf!

"Why pay others when I can do it myself", is a belief I strongly feel about anything I can make in my kitchen or home. Surprisingly, this is a nice read, easy to follow recipes (for dairy, cheese and food recipes) and provides troubleshooting in case something goes wrong in your adventures. I also like how the book walks you through multiple methods to make your dairy or cheese products. This is a little gem of a how-to book and I'm both happy and pleased with the content within this book.

It was tough to decide how to rate this book. The instructions for making butter, cheese, etc.. are great for a complete beginner like me. But be aware that half of the book are recipes for dishes that use the cheese, not for flavored cheese, butter, etc.. I'd prefer more recipes on variations for the goat cheese, butters, yoghurts, etc.. and less recipes that you can get in any regular cookbook. I feel like I have just half of a cookbook. But I'm very happy with that half.

Great book for beginners. Really has helped getting started with raw milk soft cheesemaking.

This is a wonderfully written and well put together book! It offers basically all the instruction you need when making your own dairy products, especially if you're a beginner like me! This was my first book ever on making my own cheese, butter and yoghurt and I love it. The Home Creamery makes things easy and simple. The book beautiful inside and out and it arrived promptly. You should try this, it might even save you a few bucks on groceries and keep your favourite dairy products chemical and preservative free! Wonderful buy and I would definitely buy another if I had any friends into this stuff like I am!!

If you want to have skills back to basics this is an awesome book regarding dairy.

Not the best book of recipes if you are a homesteader looking for all ingredients to be natural and coming from your homestead.
