Today, several of us met at a friend's house who has learned how to make homemade cheese. She walked us through the steps of some basic cheeses. They included chevre from goats milk and mozzarella and ricotta from cow milk. They were not that hard to make and delicious. The taste comparison to store bought was not even comparable. The ricotta especially would be simple to make as part of any recipe requiring this cheese. It was so good though that I would not delegate it to be in just dishes but also eaten plain. We had ours on crackers. Ricotta cheese does not really take any special supplies except cheese cloth. The others need cultures and rennet which can be easily obtained online. I am going to try some here at home. I will share recipes and resources as I get them.
