Make Your Own Cheese with Kitchen Creamery
Your friends will never believe what you’ve been up to when you roll out a cheese board filled with your own cheese creations! Ballerino Creamery cheesemaker Louella Hill wrote a step-by-step book on the topic, called Kitchen Creamery, and would love to share it with you. The book is inspiring and will be a perfect gift for someone who’s ready for the next D.I.Y. challenge.
Kitchen Creamery starts with the basics (think yogurt, ricotta, and mascarpone) before graduating into more complex varieties such as Asiago and Pecorino. With dozens of recipes, styles, and techniques, each page is overflowing with tips on the fascinating process that transforms fresh milk into delicious cheese. Watch this video to see why you should give home cheesemaking a try!
Ask for Kitchen Creamery at your local library or
Enjoy a digital version (such as this one on Apple Books) or
Order it from your favorite independent bookseller (such as Black Sun Books in Eugene, OR)
Or find it on the internet (such as here).

Before Ballerino Creamery, cheesemaker Louella also spent years teaching home cheesemaking. She has several free video tutorials on Youtube to share. Click the links below to learn more about where your food comes from (and to get your cheesemaking career “under whey”):
