So far it seems to be a great starting point for me to make cheese. I have no problem with making ricotta. It comes out great and so creamy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best beginner book ever! *by D***R on April 20, 2024* 2 months ago, I found instructions on-line on how to make "farmer" cheese. I made it a couple of times without really understanding what I was doing. I just received Ms. Caldwell's book last week and WOW! There are all sorts of little tidbits that are filling in my knowledge gap, with easy to follow instructions and great color photos, too. The book is organized in a series of lessons, starting with the most simple cheese (Ricotta), onto to buttermilk, kefir and yogurt (and others), graduating with the final lesson on Parmesan. I couldn't be more thrilled! If you're wondering where to start, get this book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mastering Basic Cheesemaking: The Fun and Fundamentals of Making Cheese at Home - Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking: The Ultimate Guide for Home-Scale and Market Producers - Home Cheese Making, 4th Edition: From Fresh and Soft to Firm, Blue, Goat’s Milk, and More; Recipes for 100 Favorite Cheeses --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/25835311-mastering-basic-cheesemaking-the-fun-and-fundamentals-of-making-cheese](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/25835311-mastering-basic-cheesemaking-the-fun-and-fundamentals-of-making-cheese) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
