Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking

Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking is the book every cheesemaker will want as their bible to take them from their first, simple recipes to ultimately creating their own, unique masterpiece cheeses. While beginner books leave you wanting more context and deeper understanding of the process, and recipe-based books often fail to delve into the science, Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking explores the history, science, culture, and art of making cheese on a small scale that will help cheesemakers of all skill levels develop an intuitive understanding of the concepts of the cheesemaking process- and, ultimately, a mastery of the craft. With more than thirty detailed and unique recipes, featuring profiles of cheesemakers from around the world, information on home-scale equipment and affinage (aging), and an in-depth troubleshooting guide, Gianaclis Caldwell offers cheesemakers of all levels an invaluable resource.
