I've always wanted to try my hand at cheese making, so when I saw a cheese making kit available on Green Living Australia, I knew where to direct Dan's attention when it came to buying my Christmas present.
Dan, being infinitely more pragmatic than romantic, just gave it to me last night when I got home - still wrapped in the bubble wrap it came in - because there were various components that needed refrigeration or freezing.
So here, nearly four weeks early, is my Christmas present (minus the parts in the fridge and freezer, of course).
I'm really excited about having a go. The instructions say you should start with an easy cheese like cottage cheese or fetta before moving on to the tougher ones like cheddar, so I probably should follow those directions, but we'll see.
Dan also ordered these cute measuring spoons, featuring handy measurements like a smidgen and a dash, apparently very useful in the making of cheese.
Bring on a cheesy Christmas!
Good luck with it, I can't wait to see how is turns out! I have never seen a cheese making kit. ;-)
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Lyn would laugh if he say this, he's always saying to me "Cheese Gromit" from Wallace and Gromit when he sees me eat cheese. Love the measuring spoons. Maybe I should try this? MMMMmmm, homemade fetta!!
