Reviews

[Review of previous edition:] What sets this book apart is that Amrein-Boyes is a professional cheesemaker. She�s the genius behind The Farm House Natural Cheeses, one of British Columbia�s most outstanding artisan cheesemakers. This is important information to know, because it tells you that the author knows what she�s talking about...the recipes are written from a cheesemaker�s perspective rather than a chef�s or home cook�s perspective... Helpful troubleshooting tips something I�ve not seen before in a home cheesemaking book will aid in the diagnosis of problems as they come up...This is one of the best cheesemaking books I�ve come across. Amrein-Boyes conveys the complexity and rigor of the practice of cheesemaking, while at the same time making the craft accessible to the masses.
