Episode 208: Book Review: One Hour Cheese

On todays Book Review edition of Cutting the Curd, host Diane Stemple reviews One Hour Cheese by Claudia Lucero, owner of Urban Cheesecraft - a DIY cheesemaking company. With 16 recipes for making cheese in under an hour - from creamy and spreadable to firm and chewy to melty and gooey - Claudia very clearly and concisely describes the science and essentials needed to make simple and delicious cheeses at home. This program was brought to you by The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. I kept thinking we need a true beginners book and we need a lot of photos. I think people really enjoyed seeing the steps and seeing if the curd is right, what does whey really look like, whats normal. If you are skeptical, stop right now, make this really simple cheese. Youre going to have a snack within a half an hour! --Claudia Lucero on Cutting the Curd
