INTRODUCTION This book was written for the millions of people who share the same belief that homemade items are much better than store-bought. For those who believe that their family and loved ones should enjoy only the best, freshest foods without additives or preservatives. For those who enjoy not just a cup of coffee; but a freshly ground cup of espresso from their kitchen. Those that love bread enough to spend hours preparing a fresh loaf straight from their oven. Those who appreciate good drink enough to try their hand at making their own perfect batch of beer or family wine. Those of you who appreciate the art of food, are not satisfied with mass produced grocery items and want to spend time preparing only the best for their friends and family. Throughout history, cheese has been one of the most important and nutritious foods that humans have ever consumed. Cheese making was a family affair where cheeses of all kinds could be purchased from local farmers and made fresh in the kitchen. Recipes were handed down through the generations like heirlooms. Cheese making was not just a convenient way to store the nutrition from surplus milk; it was an art form in itself. Unfortunately, the Industrial Revolution all but exterminated these traditions as millions moved to cities and the left their cheese recipes behind. It takes just as much time to make three pounds of cheese in a kitchen as it does to make 3,000 pounds in a factory. In an age of efficiency, the factories won by churning out tons of processed cheese. This book will introduce you to the delicious world of homemade cheeses. With just a small amount of elbow grease and just a few pieces of inexpensive equipment, your whole family will enjoy fresh and aged cheeses made with all the love and care that good food brings. Enjoy!
