Top 31 best island beaches for swimming and snorkeling
Plaza Sur is among the best snorkeling destinations in the world. Plaza Sur - South Plaza - is one of the smallest yet richest islands in the archipelago, known for its rich marine life. The abundant and friendly sea lions, the largest animals on the islands (with adult males weighing up to 550 pounds) are one of the main reasons snorkelers go there. Covering the seabed you'll also find damselfish, triggerfish, hogfish, sea stars, and urchins.Thinkstock
Stingray City, Grand Cayman
Stingray City is one of the largest tourist attractions in the world and one of the best animal encounters you can have. It is in 12 feet of water and is mainly, but not exclusively, visited by scuba divers. This series of shallow sandbars is home to tons of southern stingrays that divers and snorkelers can touch and feed with the help of a guide.Shutterstock
Buck Island, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands
This 176-acre island just off of St. Croix has pristine white sand beaches perfect for swimming, but it's also the focal point of Buck Island Reef National Monument, which includes nearly 19,000 acres of submerged lands and coral reefs. Snorkelers can follow a marked underwater trail that helps identify features of the coral reef, which hosts rare and vulnerable fish along with three species of sea turtle. If you're looking for warmth and romance, the U.S. Virgin Islands are a fantastic destination, and St. Croix in particular is gorgeous.Dreamstime
Uepi, Soloman Islands
Uepi is a true snorkeling paradise. Whichever edge of the island you descend from, you'll find a fascinating underwater ecosystem. Uepi drops off into 165 feet of water at the Welcome Jetty and 6,560 feet at the Point. Two other popular snorkeling access places are the Lagoon and the Dive Jetty. You can look forward to marveling at coral "gardens," huge schools of fish, large gorgonian fans, vase sponges, lionfish and snowflake eels, plus many small invertebrates in the cracks and holes.Shutterstock
This beautiful tropical island nation is best known for its exceptional beaches, snorkeling, and topnotch diving. The water is so clear that many hotels have built overwater bungalows to accommodate guests. You can jump off your private balcony into the water and swim with exotic fish. Enjoy Technicolor coral, soft sponges, mantas, whale sharks, and pelagic fish that are regularly seen on almost any dive. If you are a certified wreck diver, you can explore the British Loyalty, a 450-foot tanker covered in coral reef.Shutterstock
Corn Islands, Nicaragua
These islands off Nicaragua have very diverse beaches. On the south end of Big Corn you can explore the most swimmable shore, which is a wide, sandy, baylike seaside. Take the road north from Casa Canada to come across a path with a very narrow beach, which has some great snorkeling, some in little protected coves. There are all sorts of coral and fish to swim with.Shutterstock
Champagne Reef, Dominica
There are several active volcanoes in Dominica, which affect the reef. Underwater geothermal springs vent gasses in the form of thousands of warm bubbles, giving snorkelers a feeling of swimming through a giant glass of Champagne. You can expect to see a myriad of sea life including sponges, lobster, parrot fish, and a resident population of Hawksbill turtles.Shutterstock
Molokini Crater, Maui, Hawaii
Molokini Crater alone is a reason why you should visit Hawaii in the winter. It offers a diving and snorkeling experience like no other. More than 200 species of fish reside there. Winter is the time to go, because this is when the water is the clearest - more than any other place on any of the islands - and not as choppy. You will probably hear the spooky sound of the whales "singing" if you go very early in the morning.Thinkstock
If you want to escape the crowds and still have a blast, consider Bonaire. Most of the 6,672-acre park is water. There is a no-anchoring policy for boats, but the nearly 60 species of coral underneath the surface are some of the most unspoiled in the world. The variety and scenery are unmatched in the region. Popular snorkeling sites include Karpata, Front Porch, and Captain Don's Reef.Thinkstock
Bay Islands, Honduras
The Bay Islands are made up of the islands of Utila, Roatan, and Guanaja. Home to a massive barrier reef, one of the most diverse in the region, the Bay Islands are a world class scuba diving and snorkeling site. Utila is the smallest of the Honduras Bay Islands, but it offers some of the largest underwater animal encounters in the Caribbean. The affordable pricing and easy access from the U.S. make these islands a popular snorkel destination.Thinkstock
Situated in the Indian Ocean southeast of Africa, Mauritius boasts bright blue waters, warm white sands, and tropical temperatures all year long. It is almost entirely encircled by a coral reef, which makes the island nation a superb destination for snorkeling. Mauritius has some of the most copious marine life in the Indian Ocean. A favorite place, especially for beginners, is the Lagoon, which is generally calm in the majority of places. Colorado and Roche Zozo are among the other most popular sites.Thinkstock
Ilha Grande, Brazil
This is a charming destination with astonishing waterfalls, lakes, secret coves, and secluded beaches. All of those make it an exceptional place for snorkeling and diving. The rich local marine life - as well as the several old shipwrecks - can be explored all year round, but November through May is the best time to snorkel.Shutterstock
Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands
One of the most popular of the British Virgin Islands is the Virgin Gorda, a land mass whose shape resembles that of a large reclining woman, and a place where the laid-back pace will wash all your worries away. There are many vivid and shallow-water snorkeling spots to keep you wide-eyed. The Dogs, a small group of uninhabited islands just off the western shore, have some of the best snorkeling in the BVIs. Other popular places are Savana Bay and Prickly Pear Island.Shutterstock
Dry Tortugas, Florida
A highly underrated national park, Dry Tortugas is a cluster of seven islands composed of coral reefs and sand. The area is known for its famous bird and marine life. Fort Jefferson, one of the largest coastal forts ever built, is a central feature. Take the ferry to the national park for pristine snorkeling. The wrecks and patchy reef system surrounding the islands host a tremendously diverse array of sea life.Shutterstock
Palau's marine environment is incredibly well-preserved, which means you'll see some amazing things if you dive or snorkel. Go on a snorkeling trip in the Rock Islands where you'll paddle to hidden marine lakes and hike to waterfalls deep in the rainforest.iStock
Trunk Bay, St. John, US Virgin Islands
The U.S. Virgin Islands are one of many tropical destinations that don't require a passport for Americans. If you want to explore the Caribbean Sea, head to the absolutely serene Trunk Bay - but go early in the morning, because it gets really busy later in the day. Try the Underwater Trail, which is a snorkeling path of coral and fish with underwater signs. Boat tours, scuba diving and snorkeling are by far the most popular activities for tourists.Thinkstock
Whitsunday Islands, Australia
The lavishness of the reef's marine life makes for breathtaking views. Bright blue waters and white sand beaches are the norm for the Whitsundays. The area is made up of 74 individual islands that TripAdvisor describes as "mini paradises."Pixabay
Big Island, Hawaii
No matter where you choose to start swimming on Hawaii's Big Island, you will never get bored, because you will be busy for a long, long time, marveling at what you see. Go to Kealakekua Bay, an unspoiled marine sanctuary filled with colorful marine life and coral where you can see, among other fish, whales and dolphins. Other favorite locations are Kahaluʻu Beach Park, Captain Cook, and Honaunau Bay.Thinkstock
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Known worldwide for breathtaking sunsets, five-star resorts, iconic cottages, and lavish floating villas with glass floors, Bora Bora is more than just honeymoon hotspot. The island is also a hotspot for sharks, and snorkeling trips to see lemon sharks are very popular. Head to the Coral Garden, an underwater park teeming with tropical fish, or hire a guide to lead you through some of the lesser-known spots.Pixabay
The Seychelles
The general rule is that the reefs are to the left and right of the beach wherever you choose to swim in this collection of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean off East Africa. Baie Ternay Marine Park has the best underwater fauna from all Seychelles. Beauvallon, a small cove with small rocks on both sides, extends under the water with corals. You'll find here a lavish and colorful marine life. The right side of the bay consists of lush rocky islets. Swim there with butterfly fish, surgeon fish, and parrot fish.Thinkstock
Phi Phi Islands, Thailand
The coral reef systems of the stunning Phi Phi Islands are so abundant and astonishing you're going to need at least a month to explore them properly. When the tide is right, the stunning Monkey Bay is accessible. The coral is just below the surface, and brightly colored fish dart just inches from your mask. Hin Klang is in the middle of the sea, and Phi Phi Leh has a few more popular snorkeling locations such as Phi Phi Don and Bamboo Island.Pixabay
Culebra, Puerto Rico
Explore Puerto Rico's best kept secret, the island of Culebra, a pristine eco-destination. It's a natural paradise, home to one of the oldest bird sanctuaries in the U.S. and some of the most spectacular beaches in the Caribbean. Snorkel in a secluded cove and swim among turtles, sting rays, coral reefs, and colorful fish in warm turquoise waters.iStock
Boracay, Philippines
Boracay is world renowned for its pristine beaches. Enjoy fewer crowds and a lighter burden on your wallet, especially in the wintertime. The islands' varied landscape is matched by its many offerings; adventurous travelers will find themselves with endless options. White Beach is the most famous site, and much of it is finely ground coral. Banyugan Beach is another great location with large groups of fish swimming together just offshore.iStock
Santa Catalina Island, California
One of several Channel Islands in the Golden State, Santa Catalina Island offers up a domestic island vacation. It is known for its snorkeling and dive sites. By far, Lover's Cove is the most popular snorkel spots off Catalina. It is a protected area with kelp forest, rock reef, and a "zoo" of cool-water inhabitants. The rugged island is a popular summer escape, so visit now, without breaking the bank, for fewer crowds and nicer weather.Shutterstock
Menjangan Island, Bali
The warm and adventurous destination of Bali has some amazing underwater gardens around Menjangan Island. Located within the protected area of West Bali National Park, the island is one of the more popular dive and snorkeling spots in Indonesia. Menjangan is known for calm clear waters, a profusion of marine life, and gorgeous coral formations. You may also see whale sharks, mantas, and turtles, if you're lucky.Thinkstock
Isla Holbox, Mexico
A hidden gem in the Cancún area, Isla Holbox is the best place in the world for swimming alongside whale sharks. Come in the summer, when the whale sharks feed on plankton near the surface, and you'll find yourself having one of the most surreal swims of your life. You'll also find sea turtles and other marine animals here, as well as gorgeously clear waters.iStock
Palawan, Philippines
Palawan is one of the last unsettled places in the South Pacific, which makes it one of the best island vacations in the world. If you're looking for a mixture of adventure and tranquility, you have found your destination. The archipelagic province of the Philippines is full of amazing landscapes, beautiful beaches, and diverse marine life.Thinkstock
Koh Nang Yuan, Thailand
Koh Nang Yuan, located close to the Thai island of Ko Tao, is made up of three small islands and is an absolutely stunning vacation spot. You can go swimming in its stunning clear water without having to worry about getting hurt, as the granite rocks there have been polished into smooth stones over time by the current. Go snorkeling and you'll find all sorts of amazing creatures, such as butterfly fish, clams, clownfish, and parrotfish.holgs/istockphoto.com
Raja Ampat, Indonesia
The archipelago of Raja Ampat has one of the most stunning coasts in the world, as well as the greatest concentration of marine life for a region of its size - 75 percent of all known coral species on the planet can be found here. You won't find many people here, which means having many beaches much to yourself - so you can enjoy snorkeling amongst undisturbed aquatic creatures. More than 1,000 different species of fish, manta rays, sea turtles, and sharks call the water around Raja Ampat home.iStock
Silver Bank, Dominican Republic
If you're a fan of swimming with whales, Silver Bank is one of the few places where you can swimg alongside a humpback whale. This ocean bank is too shallow for ships, which means whales come here to mate and give birth, particularly between Decenber and April.Shutterstock
Silfra Fissure, Iceland
The Silfra Fissure is famous for being one of the world's best dive sites because it's actually a crack between the North American and Eurasian continents. It's a great place to go if you're ever visiting Iceland, as it's the only place where you can dive or snorkel right where the continental plates meet. It's also known for its incredible underwater visibility - over 330 feet. This creates a nearly unbeatable experience that should be added to any avid American traveler's bucket list.

Homemade ricotta How to make cheese right on your stove!
Once you've tasted freshly made ricotta, you can't help but be hooked!
The first time I did was in Tuscany. The cheese was so fresh, it was still warm! I'll never forget the experience. How could something so simple be so delicious?
Ever since that first bite, I've been seeking out freshly made ricotta in gourmet stores or farmers' markets. It finally occurred to me that I'd be better off simply making my own. I could make the precious cheese whenever I needed it, and would never again have to go out of my way to find it.
The revelation for me was that making ricotta at home is almost as easy as boiling an egg! Today, making my own ricotta is as routine as brewing my morning tea.
3 ingredients, 2 simple steps, and your ricotta will be ready in minutes
Ricotta in Italian means "re-cooked." It's made by reheating the whey left over from making another cheese. In Tuscany, the leftover whey they use is from sheep's milk pecorino. (Yes, that was my unforgettable first bite!)
So, while homemade ricotta is not a true ricotta, it certainly tastes just as good! Here milk instead of whey is heated up to near boiling point, then acid is added to precipitate the formation of curds. Once formed, the curds are drained through a cheesecloth… and voilà! Within a few minutes you've made your very own batch of fresh ricotta.
Here's the recipe I developed for this most simple of cheeses. I've tried it with different acids and with different milks. All yield a different-tasting but always stunning ricotta.
Crostini with ricotta, truffle honey and smoked salts
Farro with sweet peas, fresh herbs and ricotta
Bruschetta with ricotta, grilled eggplant and fresh mint
Pan-fried zucchini flowers with ricotta and garden herbs
Ricotta pancakes with apple-Calvados syrup
Homemade ricotta cheese
makes 1 cup
active time: 10 min
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons distilled vinegar, fresh lemon or lime juice
- fine cheesecloth
- Step 1: Place the milk in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add the salt and heat over medium heat. Stir occasionally so the milk doesn't scorch. Heat milk to 180ºF to 190ºF (82ºC to 88ºC). If you don't have a thermometer, heat the milk until it foams at the sides of the pan and starts simmering, but doesn't boil. Remove pan from heat and add vinegar, lemon or lime juice. Stir only a couple of times. Almost immediately, curds will start to form. Make sure not to stir any more so as not to disturb the curds. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Line a medium sieve with the cheesecloth and carefully pour the milk mixture into the cheesecloth, disturbing the curds as little as possible. Let drain for 5 to 20 minutes to the desired consistency. Draining for 5 minutes will give you a moist and creamy cheese. Draining for 20 minutes will give you a drier ricotta. You can drain the ricotta for longer of course, just remember that the longer it drains, the drier it'll be. Scroll down for the step-by-step instructions and photographs.Transfer the ricotta to a container and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for up to 7 days.
The Milk
Different kinds of milk will give you different ricottas. Cow's milk is, of course, the milk that's most readily available. You can use either ultra-pasteurized or pasteurized milk. I find the difference to be minimal, but the pasteurized milk does yield a slightly more moist ricotta. Goat's milk, which you can find in health or gourmet stores, makes a creamy and tangy ricotta that's perfect for spreading on a slice of crusty bread or for desserts. I'm still trying to locate sheep's milk, which to me makes the most sublime ricotta of all.
• Ultra-pasteurized cow's milk (left): The curds are large and form very quickly. This ricotta drains very fast. I find that 5 minutes is sufficient for a crumbly yet moist texture.
• Pasteurized cow's milk (center): The curds are also large and form quickly, but the ricotta has a creamier texture. For a crumbly and moist texture, drain it for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pasteurized goat's milk (right): The curds are small. This ricotta will need at least 20 minutes of draining or more. It has a soft, creamy texture.
Note: You might find recipes for homemade ricotta that call for adding heavy cream to the milk, but I am a purist and prefer the curds on the lighter and drier side.
The Acid
Flavor-wise, distilled vinegar makes for the purest ricotta. The vinegar imparts no flavor to the cheese and is very reliable, yielding the same results every batch.
Lemon and lime juice are also good acids to use for making cheese. They will both give the cheese either a slightly lemon-y or lime-y flavor which works wonderfully in certain recipes. However, since the pH level varies in each fruit you might need to add a little extra lemon or lime juice (about 1 tablespoon) to the warmed milk if your curds are not forming right away.
My advice is to start making ricotta with distilled vinegar until you're comfortable with the process. Then you can experiment with fresh lemon or lime juice.
Draining the Ricotta
This step is crucial. The more you drain your ricotta, the drier it'll be. The best method is to flake a little bit of ricotta with a fork while it's draining to see how the texture is turning out.
A cheesecloth is a very handy accessory to have. These days you can find it in most grocery or cooking supply stores. But in a pinch you can use a strong paper towel (the kind that doesn't fall apart when soaking wet!). I've had to resort to this a few times, when I've forgotten to replenish my supply of cheesecloth, so I can vouch for its working out well enough.
Regency Naturals Ultra Fine Cheesecloth
If you start making your ricotta on a weekly basis, you might want to get a lot of cheesecloth! This double-pack from Regency Naturals is a good value.

I found you on YouTube and moved to your website. I'm a novice cheesecakes this was my first time and it came out great !
Hi. Really interested in trying this recipe. I have made paneer cheese several times and the recipe is almost the same without beating the milk. Also, with the paneer, you press the curse in the cheesecloth to make a block of cheese. Could you do this with the ricotta? All the best from Sunny Devon, UK.
You are such a dear 🙂
I loved your youtube. videos. I have to drink a2Milk (Guernsey cows milk) will it work the same. A further question when the milk reaches expiration date and slightly off taste may it be used for butter or ricotta. I do adore cultured butter from France mind you I do pay approx $12.00 for 8 ozs it is like cheese just scrummy!
January 31, 2019 at 1:11 am
Dearest Viviane, thank you so much for your wonderful response, I really do appreciate it and I look forward to making my ricotta. HUMM!!!!!!!!!!!! I will contact the a2 preducers and see if they have the cream, I recently found out that there is a2 cheese and I may be able to get it at Traders Joes or Wholefoods, I did go to Murrays Cheese wonderful store but they did not know what I was talking about. Ce la vie 😉
January 31, 2019 at 2:02 am
I will look up the butter muslin ( have never heard of it) but I have in the past used painter straining bags (not a real friend of semi plastic) but if it is only for straining I feel it will not hurt.
Look forward to getting more posts or newsy info from you. Thank you so much. Irish Blessings to you and yours.
I'll try again, but I used Goat milk and the curd was so fine that it clogged the folded cheesecloth and just one layer didn't filter. I'll try adding some more vinegar next time? I had to use more vinegar for paneer with goat milk as well. Any thoughts?
May 16, 2018 at 1:00 am
Thanks! I did try again with a couple more tablespoons of vinegar and opted for a strong paper towel. It turned out ridiculously good. While it drained I made some fresh pasta and we had some of the best ravioli I've had in a very long time. Thanks for your recipe and your response.
Is there anything that you can use the leftover milk for? I feel like I've heard of that before but I wasn't sure. Thanks!
Can you make ricotta with skim milk?
I'm very excited to try this out. I am Italian woman with a cow's milk allergy. Life is tough. I am wondering two things:
1. Goat's milk has an almost sour taste. If I was to use the ricotta for cannoli, is there a way to make it milder or sweeter? Or does homemade goat's milk ricotta not have that tanginess to it?
2. Just wondering if I let this dry out for a longer time, will I get something similar to mozzarella?
Thanks for the recipe!
Can you place a fine mesh sieve on a colander placed in a large bowl for the recipe to work?
mine came out in one big clump, but by flaking it around with a fork it looked like the pictures. I also added two leaves of freshly chopped basil and a sprig of rosemary for more flavor, it was delightful!
Hi there! I stumbled upon this recipe on pinterest. When you say "ultra pasteurized" milk, do you mean the shelf-stable kind that usually comes in a box? I tried it today, and unfortunately it didn't work out too well 🙁 all I got was sloppy milk. Do you think I needed to use more vinegar, as I saw mentioned above, or should I just stick with regular refrigerated milk?
I love this in the summer on whole grain toast topped with fresh tomatoes and basil. So delicious!
Can you make this with Almond milk?
This is a lovely recipe and I've made it several times. I save the whey and I use it when I make pizza dough. My family and I like the pizza crust done this way because the crust ends up being crispier. We can't seem to taste the acid, which surprised me. I usually use the ricotta in stuffed shells and next I'm going to try it in a cheese cake. To be honest I didn't like ricotta until I tasted this recipe. MAJOR YUM!
September 3, 2014 at 7:57 pm
Dear Viviane: Thank you! That would be lovely but only if you have the time because I am on your (wonderful) web site a few times a week. MaryChris
Hi Viviane! Thanks for the easy and delicious recipe! I just made it and it was so wonderful! Do you have any thoughts on what to do with all that leftover whey? Seems such a shame to pour it down the drain. Thanks so much!
Oh mah goodness…I'm making this cheese right now and I can't believe how easy it is! It's resting now before being strained. I tasted a little bit and it is already amazing! I used 2 Tbsp vinegar and 1 Tbsp lemon juice. The lemon flavor is delicious. : )
Thanks for sharing a recipe that doesn't call for heavy cream. I love making fresh ricotta.
I just tried the goats milk version because I can't do cows milk. Its awesome! Now to figure out what to do with it lol. I'm thinking something italian. Now to search your site and see if there are other things I can do with goats milk!
I've just made my first batch of goat milk ricotta. The taste is unbelievable and it took only 30 minutes to make! I will never use store-bought ricotta from now on. I cannot wait to use it in your zucchini flower recipe!
I have made this twice now and it is amazing. I used her boobs and fresh garlic. I also use half lemon and half vinegar because I think the lemon give it a beautiful flavor in my pasta. thank you for such a good post
Thank you for this simple, clear recipe. It worked wonderfully. I won't buy ricotta from the little plastic tubs again. So many possibilities….
My ricotta is draining away right now. I'm going for a smoother texture for some zucchini lasagna. This recipe was SO simple!! And I snuck a taste of my batch, it tastes perfect. Thank you so much for posting. This will take my Valentine's dinner to the next level! 🙂
Thanks for this easy step by step and the explanation and picture of how the different types of milk turn out.
I just made my first batch after having this page book marked for months and I LOVE that I can have my yummy ricotta again and never ever have to eat the yuck store bought stuff again!
I'm going to try goats milk next time 🙂
Thanks for the tutorial, I actually used this to make paneer. If you wrap the curds up in the cheese cloth and put a weighted object on top and let it sit for a few hours you get a brick of paneer which you can slice, fry, and then add to a curry. So good! thanks for the help!
This recipe is super easy. Your detailed instructions were very helpful. I'll be sharing your link today on Facebook because it was super helpful!
I love fresh ricotta! Never tried making it, but you make it look so doable. Thanks for all the detailed instructions.
Tried today. Easy and delicious. Thank you for the recipe and method.
I have been getting raw goats milk for awhile and have been using it to make crock-pot yogurt. I can't wait to try making something new. I also drain the yogurt through coffee filters wet lining a colander.
Viviane thank you for your detailed post. When my daughter lived in Italy the one thing that she constantly talked about was the fresh ricotta. Thanks to you I can surprise her with a batch.
TY so much for sharing this extremely helpful and in depth how-to make ricotta cheese. It's something I can't wait to try!
Beautifully done…and thanks for showing the difference with the different milks.
I really love this post and how you compare the result from using different types of milk. Very thoughtful, thank you so much!
I adore homemade ricotta! The first time I tried I swore I would never go back to store bought varieties. The break down of the different types of milk is incredibly helpful. To date, I've only tried ultra-pasteurized cow's milk and goat's milk. Like you, I've had trouble tracking down sheep's milk though I'd love to give it a try! Recently I've taken to using buttermilk (added right with the milk at the start) in lieu of vinegar or citrus. I'd love to hear your take on how buttermilk ricotta compares!
Interesting how different milks yield different results. I've never made homemade ricotta but it definitely looks like fun! Thanks for such an informative post!
This is such a wonderful post. I have always wanted to try doing this. Now I know how. Thank you so much for doing this. Looks easy enough for a gal like me to try.
Great, informative post! I haven't tasted fresh made ricotta yet but I can only imagine how good it must be.
Glad you resent this post out! I have never made ricotta and this is a really informative as well as instructional. In viewing the comparison, I think that the one with goats milk would be awesome. This is probably one of those things that homemade taste and store bought taste is miles apart. I made cheese once and it is a pretty big project, but the end result made it well worth it. Great post!
Cool! I have seen recipes for home made ricotta before but not really from a trusted source. Now that I have, I feel better about trying my hand at this at home 🙂
I have always wanted to do this, but never have. I get so worried I might screw it up. This looks great, thanks for the step by step!
Wow…the fresh ricotta cheese is looking awesome ! I cant wait to make my batch today. I can feel the flavors of fresh cheese. Regards, Sonia
Wow! I didn't know that it's so simple to make ricotta. With your instructions and pictures everyone can make it. I cannot wait to try too.
Just made my first recipe of ricotta and it taste wonderful, so much better than store bought. I am now a fan. Only problem is that it did not make enough so back to the store for more milk. Thanks
Love the ricotta recipe and pictures. My first batch is runny and not many curds. I live at high altitude (11,000 ft above sea level). Would there be a need to change temperature of the warmed milk before adding ingredients at a higher altitude?
Thanks so much for this recipe! I live in a remote area of northern canada where ricotta is far from available. This recipe will now help me enjoy the comforts of back home 🙂
Any idea how long it would last (would you say comfortably until the milk's expiry date?)
What is the differance between Ricotta and Cottage cheese//??? Please! Do you have a recipe for homemade cottage cheese?
Can you re-use the whey from the first batch to make ricotta again
This turned out perfect. I had been using my home grown lemons and couldn't understand why it wasn't producing enough curds. Obviously the ph of my lemons was not right. The vinegar is a much better option. Great, simple, recipe! Enjoying it with my pasta later on today.
Viviane, I made my second batch this morning, and got wondering if you've ever gone all the way to ricotta salata — or even if ricotta salata is just a question of drying longer and putting pressing on the curds.
Made it at last! And it's delicious. Thanks, Viviane!
I use a jelly strainer I found at my local hardware store. It works for ricotta and yogurt (I like thick Greek style yogurt).
Ricotta is draining. Trying the paper towel method, but will try cheese cloth asap. It smells wonderful. My family is very excited. Thank you!
Your photos are sooo beautiful!
As to the recipe, I use buttermilk – it adds yet another kind of flavor :-).
Thanks so much for this! I was able to make organic ricotta for much less that the regular ricotta would cost in the store. It seemed a shame to hide the beautiful results (first try) in a lasagna, but that was on the menu for the night. Delicious and unbelievably easy!
Thank you, Viviane – I missed that. I will try a paper towel today. This is exciting!
Wow – this is an awesome recipe. Thank you so much. I just need to find some cheesecloth – wonder if coffee filters would work?
I can't wait to try this and the homemade creme fraiche! How invaluable to have in one's arsenal. I've made my own homemade mascarpone and loved the results. I appreciate how thorough you are and demonstrating the different textures. What a great post, Viviane!
Congratz on the top 9 on Fb viviane!
Tq for the tutotrial & tips! I'll make this someday, exited! 😉
This is exactly how we make panir (Indian cottage cheese) at home. We can crumble it or press it under a heavy weight to set it in a block and cut pieces to cook/eat.
Congratulations on Foodbuzz #!!
Wow! I would have never guessed that it was so easy to make – thank you for the inspiration Vivianne!
Grazie per la condivisione. Giulia
It's been a while since I've made ricotta…but it was SO much better than the grocery store variety. Thanks for such inclusive directions…I think it's time for another batch, but this time for a savory recipe instead of cheesecake 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend~
Congrats on the top 9, I love your blog! New follower 🙂 xoxo
I never made ricotta, and I love your method, very easy instructions. My Grandma use to make it with fresh gout milk and I liked the taste.. Great post though, I will have to get enough courage to try it!:)) Congrats on top 9!
The photography of the Ricotta steps , clarified it for me! I will try it . Gorgeous and inspiring .
we've recently been advised to move our little one from cow's milk to goat's milk, so i'm definitely going to try this one out with goat's milk!
Love the goat milk one…so creamy! Thank you, viviane, for the step-by-step instructions.
V, thank you for another fabulous post! You and your friendly cows collaborate for another masterpiece with this ricotta!
Great recipe Viviane! I had no idea making fresh ricotta would be so easy. I'll give it a try. 🙂
Everyone! Thank you for stopping by and for your comments – I'm always very grateful for them. Hope you give making your own ricotta a try… You'll never look back!
Wow – what a great post! I love ricotta and I remember having it fresh in Sicily….amazing! I love the step-by-step photos! Bookmarked and buzzed!
Wow, what a wonderful tutorial! You make it sound so easy that I will have to try it! Thanks for sharing.
Look delicious! Enjoy Cooking!
Ohmigoodness! That's awesome! I'd never even thought about making my own. I bet it does taste amazing 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful post! And I love how you gave us the different outcomes using different milks. I'm definitely gonna give this a try someday!
THe ricotta looks great.

HNBR, commonly called Hydrogenated Nitrile or Highly-Saturated-Nitrile is a special Nitrile material formulated to increase strength and reduce fluid attack. The process eliminates double-carbon chemical bonds that allow chemical attack in conventional NBR materials. The resulting compounds have much higher strength, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance. HNBR is not recommended for use with strong acids of chlorinated hydrocarbons. The wider temperature range, toughness and wear resistance make C-7018 an excellent choice for use in oil field applications and other applications from -29°C to +160°C (-20°F to +320°F).

American and Canadian citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least 90 days beyond the intended return date in order to enter and depart the country. Tourists must also provide proof of return or onward travel. Each traveler is responsible for ensuring that his/her passport is up to date. Citizens of other nationalities should check with respective authorities before departure.
Please ensure that the name on your passport matches all travel documents we have issued. If this is not the case, please contact us immediately.
Please make a photocopy of your passport's identification page and keep it separate from your original. It's also a good idea to leave a digital copy with someone at home. This may speed up the replacement process should you lose your passport. It is advised to carry your passport with you at all times as Chilean police can demand for identification at any time and hotels will need it at check-in.
A visa is not required for citizens of the U.S. and Canada. When entering Chile, you will fill out a tourist card that will allow you to stay for 90 days. Please keep this card safe as you will have to present this card to officials when leaving the country. Citizens from other countries may require a valid visa. These requirements change often and therefore it is best that you check with the Embassy of Chile for the most up-to-date visa information.
Please note that in accordance with the Chilean law, to enter Easter Island all passengers must complete a mandatory form detailing the duration of their stay (30 days maximum) and provide it to the Police (PDI) at the airport. Passport, hotel confirmation or travel itinerary, as well as a round-trip ticket are also required. This information must be validated by the Police (PDI) at the airport. Therefore, all passengers are obligated to hand it in to the Police Office located in the Domestic Flights boarding area, before passing the carry-on luggage control. In return, the Police will provide a registration voucher that will have to be handed in upon boarding the flight.
The form can be found at: https://ingresorapanui.interior.gob.cl/
Cancellation and Medical Insurance is highly recommended as it can safeguard against the expenses associated with in-country medical emergencies, lost or delayed baggage and emergency cancelation or interruption of your trip. Please ensure your policy will provide you with upfront medical coverage so that you are not responsible for a hefty doctor's bill while away. Insurance can be purchased through us.
Currently Required Vaccinations: None
We always recommend that you see a doctor or health-care provider who specializes in Travel Medicine. They will best determine your vaccination and medication needs based on your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, planned activities and up-to-the-minute requirement changes.
If there are any medical items that are essential to your health, such as prescription drugs or corrective eye wear, bring duplicates and divide them between your checked bags and hand luggage. While non-prescription drugs such as aspirin are generally available, it is difficult to replace prescription items.
Recommended Items:
Chile's unusual, ribbon-like shape — 4,300 kilometres long and on average 175 kilometres wide — has given it a varied climate, ranging from the world's driest desert—the Atacama—in the north, through a Mediterranean climate in the centre, to a rainy temperate climate in the south. All of Chile's cities have their warmest weather in the months from October to April and coldest from May to September. For up-to-date forecasts, check weather.com.
Electricity in Chile is 220 volts. Chilean sockets are designed to accept European plugs with two circular metal pins. A multi-adaptor with different plug configurations can be very useful. We advise not to bring a hair dryer as it could blow a fuse.
Phone: Roaming charges vary between carriers, but tend to be quite costly. Consult your phone provider prior to departure to discuss overseas rates and international package options. You can purchase a basic prepaid cell phone, no ID is required to buy one.
Internet: Wireless access is available in most urban areas, airports, metro stations, malls, cafes and hotels. You'll find Internet cafés in both small and large cities throughout Chile.
The official currency of Chile is the Chilean Peso (CLP). Chilean peso paper money comes in different colors and denominations (20,000, 10,000, 5,000, 2,000 and 1,000). Coins are in denominations of 500, 100, 50, 10, 5 and 1.
We recommend that you get local currency from your bank before you leave home or from a bank machine in-country which is much cheaper than an exchange service at the airport or in tourist areas. Debit and Credit cards are more widely accepted in most of the major cities and chain stores. You will need a 4-digit PIN to be able to use your credit cards in Chile.

Language: Spanish
Currency: Chilean Peso (CLP)

Omar Cummings did not need to visit Aston Villa's famous stadium to understand the importance of the club to their local community. He just took a taxi and everything became clear.
After the 2010 MLS season the Dynamo forward spent a couple of weeks on trial with the English Premier League side, who visit BBVA Compass Stadium on Saturday for this year's Charities Cup (8 p.m. CT; TICKETS).
The Jamaican was wowed when he saw a match at Villa Park, the club's home since 1897. "The atmosphere was great, the fans were great—very, very committed fans," he told reporters at Houston Sports Park on Tuesday.
But the journey made as much of an impression as the destination. Staying in a part of Birmingham filled with Claret and Blue fans—their rivals, Birmingham City, play only three miles away from Villa Park—Cummings took cab rides and realized how ingrained the club was in the fabric of England's second-largest city.
"One of my fondest memories of being there was riding cabs back and forth to practice every day, getting their views on the team and on the city. Some guys just thanked me so much for [getting to pick] me up so that they could come to Villa Park and the training ground," said Cummings, who ended up staying with his club at the time, the Colorado Rapids.
"Talking to the cabbies in the morning, the first guy was one of the best—he actually requested, 'let me pick you up every day.' His father, he didn't think much of him as a father, but he thanked him for bringing him to a Villa game early in his life, as a kid. He said: 'we don't have the best relationship but if I thank him for anything I thank him for that.'"
Supporting Villa is a tradition that goes back many generations. The club was founded in 1874 and became the most successful English team of the Victorian era. They were one of a dozen founder members of the Football League, the world's oldest soccer league, as well as founder members of the Premier League when it started in 1992.
"No one can doubt their status as one of the institutions who helped to establish soccer in the game's formative years," said Richard Whitehead, a journalist and author of Children of the Revolution, a history of Aston Villa in the 1970s.
"In Britain this year the centenary of the start of the First World War has become something of a national obsession. At the outbreak of the conflict, Villa were—without question—the most famous football club in the world.
"If the history of soccer interests you and you want to see one of the truly historic clubs in the world in action, then a visit by Villa is not to be missed… Villa more or less invented what it meant to be a big football club—not Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona, Bayern Munich or Liverpool.
"Six of their seven league titles came before the First World War, five of the seven FA Cups. The modern highlight unquestionably came in the early 1980s when the championship was followed by an extraordinary triumph in what we now call the Champions League."
The club's best league performances in recent years have been three straight sixth-place finishes from 2008-2010. The past few seasons were far tougher, but Paul Lambert's side avoided relegation and ended 2013-14 in 15th, ensuring the team will kick off its 27th successive top-level campaign in August.
The Dynamo beat Stoke City 2-0 in last year's Charities Cup and head coach Dominic Kinnear is looking forward to facing another English Premier League side and the chance to finesse his lineup and tactics without the pressure of having MLS points at stake.
"I enjoy the outside competition, it's a little bit different, you see something you don't see either in preseason or during the year," he said. "These are great teams and great players and guys get up for it in a little bit of a different way. Sometimes it's a good little break - it's good to get a break but a working break is good for the players."
Last Saturday's 2-2 draw with Toronto FC left the Dynamo ninth in the standings, four points behind the New England Revolution, who currently occupy the fifth and final Eastern Conference playoffs berth. For Kinnear, that gap is both a negative and a positive. It's a sign that Houston have not yet found consistent form, but it's far from an unbridgeable gulf considering the team still has 14 regular-season fixtures to play.
"We've had some good moments, we've had some moments where we're kind of scratching our heads over the weeks here. I think the level of frustration that we've hit, it's good in a way because the guys are expecting more and that's what you want come these last 14 games," Kinnear said.
"We have quality in the locker room, I think we have enough quality to go on a good run and put ourselves in a good spot so we can be contending late in the season."

Kenya Moore is allegedly the newest castmember on Real Housewives of Atlanta. The former beauty queen and current model/actress was called in to replace the fired Sheree Whitfield. Interestingly, until recently Kenya didn't even live in Atlanta – she lived in LA – and she's not from there. She grew up in Detroit. So how did a non-Atlanta native land a spot on a show about Atlanta housewives?
Additionally this begs the question – is Bravo taking storyline manipulation too far? I mean this is supposed to be reality TV, but how little is too little reality? Popular Atlanta blog Tamara Tattles has been investigating the issue of how Kenya ended up on the producer's list to join the show. First of all, Tamara confirms Kenya is definitely a member of the cast next season. And that she came to the producers' attention from former Apprentice villain Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth!
And how does Omaraso know Kenya? Through NeNe Leakes! Apparently back in the days when NeNe was threatening Star Jones on Celebrity Apprentice, Omarosa was her behind-the-scenes mentor. While she obviously didn't do a very good job directing Ms. Leakes in business etiquette, she made an impression on the feisty housewife and the two remained friends.
Last July, NeNe (along with supposedly estranged husband Gregg Leakes) were hanging out at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans. Omarosa was also there – with her friend Kenya! NeNe and Kenya hit it off and NeNe started dropping her name to producers. Kenya agreed to relocate and thus her entry into the Real Housewives was cemented.

A brief Q&A on Zenith Hockey with Al Muir, Panini America's Hockey Brand Manager:
Q: Of all the legendary brands at your disposal, why Zenith?
A: Couple of reasons, actually. First, I was a big fan of Zenith back in the old days. Like a lot of collectors, I have fond memories of the technologies, the hot RCs of Vinnie Lecavalier and Roberto Luongo and yeah, the Dare to Tear cards. It just seemed like a program that offered both a nostalgic tug as well as an opportunity to update it to make it compelling for modern hobbyists.
Q: You're bringing back the Dare To Tear element that was such a phenomenon in the hockey market back in the day. What's the hook this time around?
A: The key to making this work is to force collectors to make a tough decision. Each Dare to Tear Jumbo will feature either a true RC or one of hockey greatest legends and it will be fairly limited. If you tear one, you're destroying a sure thing...but what you find inside might just make it all worthwhile. Along with base cards and Epix inserts, we're seeding in RCs you won't find anywhere else, including National Treasures and Donruss Elite cards of Taylor Hall, Jeff Skinner and many more. We also have autographed versions of the unsigned RCs that are inserted in base packs, along with a number of other surprises.
Q: RCs seem to be the biggest draw of the program. What can you tell us about the staggering amount of freshman content?
A: Obviously rookies have to be a compelling part of any modern program, but Zenith just developed into something else in a really organic way. We originally planned for 50 RCs, but there was a tremendous influx of first-year talent in December and January that forced us to reconsider the possibilities. We know collectors want to see these players and as quickly as possible, so Zenith provided the proverbial window of opportunity. As more rookies made their debuts, we reconfigured the product to add more and more of them. Eventually, we ended up with three tiers of RCs, both signed and unsigned, within the base set. Then we added more RCs as part of the Dare to Tear program, both as jumbos and as some of the elements that collectors will pursue within the jumbos. We knew we weren't going to make National Treasures or Elite as full-on hockey programs this year, so we created mini-versions of these almost as extensions to our basketball or football programs of the same name. It's a unique approach that's really in keeping with the experimental nature of the original Zenith.
Q: So, in a way, Zenith can almost be seen as a pilot for potential future releases of National Treasures and Donruss Elite hockey?
A: We'll definitely gauge how collectors respond to these in the secondary market. If the demand is there, we could certainly spin them off into their own entities as we move forward.

The recent EU court's ruling on the "right to be forgotten" is an interesting wrinkle in the debates around privacy and public information in the world of cyber-connection. Even those who have carefully guarded what information they have "put out there" can find that information related to their name or face exists online and can be mined and redistributed in any number of ways. While the EU just forced Google to institute a procedure for removing items from the "results" for searches originating in Europe (Google.fr and google.de), they were not forced to delete those items from their "repositiory" of sites. Those who were hoping to have the request option for the US version of Google are out of luck; no court has forced Google to do this for US yet. However, if you want to clean up your "international image", Jill Scharr's helpful blog entry has more info on doing that.
Google does offer a procedure to remove "outdated" content. It may take some following-up with them (as the page suggests, since I guess they can take their time and/or refuse). You will also need to do this in conjunction with the webmaster of your site (if you are not your own webmaster).
In the short-run, you can delete passages or pages on your site; however, since they were indexed by Google shortly after you "published" them, they would still show up in a google search. The old/deleted materials will "sink down" in the search-results as more people click on your more recent materials. Your best bet in the interim, is to make old content "private", and use either text-links to let people know that there is a more current page with a link to new info and/or implement a re-direct URL to the now-current information….an inelegant solution until the google request is acknowledged, but a quick and dirty solution for the time-being.

I can't believe I'm still working on the Quiet Book for my niece, but I'm getting close to being finished. I finished the last three pages and have started quilting the cover. I really hope to be done within the next week or so. For the final pages, I made a hairstyling face and a Mr. Potato Head.

The Anti-Cesar Millan / Ian Dunbar's been succeeding for 25 years with lure-reward dog training; how come he's been usurped by the flashy, aggressive TV host?
It's late afternoon at Point Isabel, prime time at the Bay Area's popular off-leash dog park, and the man some call the most innovative in the field of dog training weaves unnoticed through the two- and four-legged throngs. No one recognizes the slight, snow-haired man dressed in Berkeley-esque traveler's clothes (well-pocketed shirt and cargo pants) as Dr. Ian Dunbar, the man who wrote the book -- rather, six books -- on pet dog training and the guy who developed one of the earliest puppy-training courses in the country. Dunbar is 59, and though he's been away from his native England for decades (since 1971), he carries the air of an English gentleman. Occasionally British colloquialisms slip into conversation. "I was gob-smacked!" is how he explains his recent shock over a case of dog-owner ignorance.
With an eager border collie obsessively dropping a ball at his feet, Dunbar scans the Point Isabel regulars. It's hard to imagine he's not passing judgment on particular behaviors, but mostly he smiles at the four-legged passers-by. Thirty-five years of studying dogs has not dulled him to simple joys.
"Bay Area dogs are so cool, so friendly and polite," he says. When a brown fluff ball approaches jauntily and sniffs his pant leg, he genuinely gushes. "What a cute puppy!" Then an incessant barker demands attention. "We've heard," he says firmly to the lab. "Haven't you got anything else to say?"
Though they probably don't know it, Dunbar's training methodology has probably influenced the pet-owner relationship of almost everyone here at the park. He says he was the first to preach the once revolutionary idea of training puppies off leash (formerly only those six months and older were thought trainable) and also says he was the first to stuff food into a Kong (the conical shaped rubber chew toy and object of desire of most chewing-age puppies), thus saving table legs and Italian loafers worldwide. More important, his methods and theories have saved dogs' lives. Dog training is his passion, but it's not simply because he finds a well-trained pet a thing of beauty.
Training, he says, saves dogs' lives.
"Without training, the life of a puppy is predictable: chewing, soiling the house, digging up the garden, followed by a trip to the shelter where, if it's lucky, it gets another try," he says, wearily. "Without training, that dog will be dead in less than a year."
There is a quiet battle being fought in dog-training circles, and Dunbar, though he didn't pick the fight, represents one side. The mild, very mannered Dunbar is armed with degrees and scientific study: a veterinary degree and a Special Honors in physiology and biochemistry from the Royal Veterinary College of London University, a doctorate in animal behavior from the psychology department of UC Berkeley and a decade of research on the olfactory communication, social behavior and aggression in domestic dogs. All this, plus decades of dog-training experience.
Impressive, yes, but his opponent in this training controversy is backed by big business, Hollywood celebrity and, even worse, some say, the power of charisma. Cesar Millan, a.k.a. the Dog Whisperer, has his own television series on the National Geographic Channel and is churning out a burgeoning enterprise of videos and books. The subject of a recent New Yorker profile by Malcolm Gladwell, Millan is often photographed on high-tech in-line skates, leading a pack of pit bulls, rottweilers and German shepherds. The sexy Millan's dog-handling credentials include an upbringing on a Mexican farm, an "uncanny gift for communicating with dogs" and his Dog Psychology Center in Los Angeles. There, with a pack of 50 dogs, he rehabilitates wayward canines.
Besides foreign roots, there is little these two men share, except, as Dunbar points out, the bedrock belief that all dogs can and should be trained. If this were a dogfight, it would be the unlikely match between a pit bull and a border collie -- unlikely, because those who know dogs know the border collie would simply leave. In this case, however, those watching the fight keep pushing the smart dog back in the ring. Top dog trainers nationwide have expressed dismay that Millan is the current face of dog training, and most say that Dunbar should be the one with the empire. It's a perennial conflict in training discourse. Are results best achieved through rewarding good behavior or punishing bad?
Millan subscribes loosely to the idea of the pack, a dogs-as-wolves theory that had long ago fallen out of favor with many trainers. Touting dominance by pet owners, and the dictate to create "calm submission" in their charges, Millan says owners are essentially pack leaders. "I teach owners how to practice exercise, discipline and then affection, which allows dogs to be in a calm, submissive state," he explains when asked to clarify. "Most owners in America only practice affection, affection, affection, which does not create a balanced dog.
"Training," says Millan, "only teaches the dogs how to obey commands -- sit, roll over -- it does not have anything to do with dog psychology."
In his recent best-seller, "Cesar's Way," Millan writes that there are only two positions in a relationship, leader or follower. "I work with dogs all the time that are trained but not balanced." Included in Millan's repertoire is a snappy touch that he claims mimics a corrective response by pack leaders, "alpha rollovers" (forcibly making a dog show its belly), and submission to being rear sniffed.
"Never heard of that," says Dunbar when asked about bottom sniffing, but he is loath to completely discount Millan. Indeed, both trainers advocate any techniques that are humane and work for the dogs and the owner.
"He has nice dog skills, but from a scientific point of view, what he says is, well ... different," says Dunbar. "Heaven forbid if anyone else tries his methods, because a lot of what he does is not without danger." "Don't try this at home" messages are flashed throughout the show, and in September, the American Humane Association requested that the National Geographic Channel stop the show immediately, citing Millan's training tactics as "inhumane, outdated and improper."
Writer Mark Derr, in a recent New York Times editorial, went as far as to call Millan a "charming, one-man wrecking ball directed at 40 years of progress in understanding and shaping dog behavior."
Nicholas Dodman, program director for the Animal Behavior Clinic at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University and author of "Dogs Behaving Badly," goes even further. He calls Millan's techniques "abuse." A TV producer claiming his dog was injured while training at the Dog Psychology Center is reportedly suing Millan.
While distaste for Millan might be growing, Dunbar focuses on discounting the myths such training ideas foster. Dogs aren't wolves, Dunbar says, generations of evolution separate the two animals. "Learning from wolves to interact with pet dogs makes about as much sense as, 'I want to improve my parenting -- let's see how the chimps do it!' "
Dunbar claims compliance, the goal of all dog training, is most often achieved through positive training methods. His lure-reward methods -- using treats and praise -- have an even higher rate of success if there is puppy socialization. Indeed, puppies put Dunbar on the dog-training track. In 1981, after buying an 8-week-old malamute, Dunbar sought a puppy class. He cast out as far as Sacramento and Carmel but came up with nothing. At the time, common understanding was that dogs couldn't be trained until they were 5 or 6 months old, but from his studies, Dunbar knew dogs were learning behaviors long before that. Though his academic interest was in dog olfactory research and sexuality ("dog humping," he shorthands), Dunbar soon found himself venturing out of the ivory tower. He found that he enjoyed educating pet owners and began developing a training program using positive feedback, games and treats.
Sirius Dog Training, as Dunbar called it, showed proven positive results from early off-leash training. His classes, and the resulting video, were embraced by trainers and owners alike. Many say Sirius spurred the demise of punitive, punishment-based training that was the vogue after World War II. In 1993, Dunbar founded the Association of Pet Dog Trainers whose mission is to promote better training through education.
The return to dominance training such as Millan's, Dunbar says, is a disservice to dogs more than anything else. Though Millan gets results, Dunbar notes that most people don't have Millan's strength or skill, and even fewer keep dozens of dogs. "I teach methods that a supervised 4-year-old can use," Dunbar says. Having been called as a witness in high-profile Bay Area bite trials -- he was one of a team who evaluated one of the dogs involved in the deadly attack on Diane Whipple in 2001 -- he is all too familiar with the violent underbelly of dog aggression. Fear, he underscores, doesn't train a reliable dog.
Claudia Kawczynska, editor of Bark magazine, is one of Dunbar's many fans. "It's irritating to see Millan treated as the expert. Ian is an animal behaviorist with decades of experience," she says, "He should be where Millan is." Kawczynska likens the Millan cult of personality and popularity to the anti-science, anti-academic sentiment she sees prevalent in American culture and politics. "Millan lived on a farm, so what? He's good looking, but he's not smart about dogs. It seems people don't want their experts to be educated."
Dunbar refuses to comment on whether his lack of profile is due to his weighty credentials, though a Millan fan on Gladwell's blog says the backlash against the Dog Whisperer is "because Malcolm had written about the unschooled Millan rather than a string of PhDs that the average person has never heard of -- and never will."
Jean Donaldson, director of dog training at the SFSPCA and author of "Culture Clash," a book about the human-dog relationship, views the history of dog training in pre- and post-Dunbar eras. "Ian is the man," she says. "He revolutionized the field." She, too, thinks Millan is tapping into something deeper in the current culture -- and his machismo is only part of it. "It's a backlash against political correctness," she says. "People are angry and life is frustrating and [when] someone tells them it's all about dominating something smaller and weaker? They'll go for that."
"Dunbar puts training in the owner's hands," says Aishe Berger, co-owner of SF Puppy Prep, a puppy day care facility that promotes Dunbar's theory of early socialization. "His methods are based on science and learning theory, not the kind of 'magic' touted by the gurulike Millan."
But if the magic works, who wouldn't want magic?
There's the catch: Since Millan's program has gained popularity, Donaldson reports, the SPCA has been flooded with calls from confused and frustrated owners who want her to decipher -- and give them the scoop -- on Millan's "mysterious pinch."
Dr. Patricia McConnell, author of "For the Love of a Dog: Understanding Emotion in Your Best Friend" and the animal behaviorist on Animal Planet's "Petline," goes as far as to say that Millan has put dog training back 20 years. "Dunbar is a world authority," she says, "and he should be the one with the celebrity."
Dunbar doesn't argue with that. Though he hosted five years of a TV training show in England, "Dogs With Dunbar," Hollywood never bit on it, or on his other ideas, several of which are tinged with the odor of ever-popular reality TV. "Shelter Dog Makeover" ("We'd groom them, train them and find them a new home!") and "Train That Dog" (trainers compete to train a dog to do various tricks and obedience trials in the least amount of time) were two he thought most promising. Dunbar says Animal Planet mucky-mucks said they turned tail at his foreign accent, but he doubts that was the real truth. After all, the channel vaulted to popularity with hosts from Down Under.
As for books, of which he has sold hundreds of thousands, his first experience in publishing colored his view of New York representation. Dozens of publishers turned his first book down, but the one who finally came through soured him to New York publishing. He bemoans the editing that was done on his work, and the publishing experience itself disappointed him. The numbers of books sold, he said, never really added up to what was reported -- and what he knew himself had moved.
Some local experts lament Dunbar's failure to go mainstream, citing his unwillingness to lose control over every aspect of his work, including editing.
For himself, Dunbar has almost given up on the megamedia, though he says he could name 20 excellent and attractive trainers who could make a show fly. He's got other ideas. One groups experts from many fields -- a psychologist, a puppy trainer, a hostage negotiator and a grandmother with the wisdom of life experience -- who would be presented with a problem such as a husband who won't come home from the bar after work. Each expert would devise a plan and the favorite would be implemented on the show.
"All training is negotiation," Dunbar says, "whether you're training dogs or spouses." Indeed, a recent article in the New York Times titled "What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage" hit a nerve when the author, Amy Sutherland, who writes on exotic animal training, admitted using training techniques on her partner. Dunbar agrees with Sutherland's premise that training is training is training. "You can instill fear in your kids and get them to mind, but they won't function better in the world and your relationship will suffer greatly," he adds.
"Problems that need correcting are the thin end of the wedge," he says, "with dogs and people." It doesn't take much, he claims. A smile, a kind word. "You don't have to give M&M's all the time. People -- and dogs -- are dying to be trained."
Dunbar has a 23-year-old son, Jamie, a wooden dory river guide, with his first wife, Mimi, and says his family configuration is "very Berkeley" -- both his current wife (and former dog-sitter), Kelly Gorman, and his ex-wife are on friendly terms. Gorman, also a trainer and a founder of Open Paw, an international humane animal education program for pet owners and shelters, has done a good job of training him, he reports. Currently in the midst of giving up his much-loved cigars, Dunbar muses that Gorman is actually the better trainer of the pair. Two of the couple's three dogs are hers: Dune, an American bulldog, and Ollie, a rescue from Chicago Heights Humane Society. The third, Claude, a 110-pound rottweiler-coon-hound mix from the SFSPCA, is what Dunbar calls a "special needs" case. "We train him one day, and the next day we start over again. He's more than not bright."
Despite a lack of publicity, Dunbar's recent talk on dog aggression at a local bookstore brought out a full house of fans, many with pen and paper at the ready. With little sign of any training controversy, there is, however, evidence of Dunbar's status as local cult leader by the standing-room-only crowd. During his hourlong lecture, Dunbar explained the physiology of dog aggression in a way that showcased his British humor. He easily charmed the audience with jokes and witticisms; his dog impersonations, including a rear view, full-bottom wiggle, kept the audience enthralled and grinning. Though every move he made was carefully watched and met with nods of knowingness, at times he looked a tad silly. He giggled, he gushed and he panted. Having just returned from Tokyo, he contorted his face in an impersonation of a Japanese dachshund. Could an American TV audience have embraced this kind of goofiness?
At the end of the hour, Dunbar had to leave to get ready for yet another seminar, this time in the Midwest, one of the few left to which he has committed. With 850 full-day seminars behind him, Dunbar is winding down touring. He's considering living in southern France or traveling for pleasure, one of his passions. He's passing his baton to others who will no doubt continue the struggle over dog-training particulars. But without Dunbar's engagements to drive the sales of his training guides and videos, it's easy to imagine that flashier, more commercial materials will easily eat up his market. Whether those will reflect his ideas -- or Millan's -- it's hard to say.
At least half the audience still has questions for the expert, but despite raised hands, Dunbar uses the last minute to reiterate his training philosophy. "We need to thank our dogs for being good," he says, launching into a wrap-up more spiritual than practical. "Every morning I give thanks for waking up -- the alternative is not so good. Too often, we forget to be thankful." Clearly, he's from Berkeley, not Hollywood.

#STRask - October 16, 2017
Tim Barnett is on a timer, and answers questions about Hell, the Kingdom of God, and if Christianity were false.
Did Jesus Rise From The Dead?
This talk was given at Praise Church (praisechurch.tv) in Beaumont, TX. Tim Barnett looks at some of the reasons why he believes Jesus resurrection is the best explanation of the historical evidence.
A Gospel Without Final Judgment Is Not The Gospel
There is a tendency in our presentation of the Gospel to stick with the parts that make people feel good. Those things are true, but there's more we need to tell them.
Did the Council of Nicea Invent the Deity of Christ?
Despite claim to the contrary, the facts overwhelmingly confirm that the deity of Christ was not invented at the Council of Nicea. In fact, Jesus' words and actions led the disciples to the only reasonable conclusion: Jesus is God. And this belief was passed down through church history.
Being Tactical with Jehovah's Witnesses
In our discussions with Jehovah's Witnesses, we need to be tactical. That is, we need to anticipate their typical maneuvers to better guide the conversation. This will give us the best opportunity to be effective in making a lasting impact.
Answering the Galileo Myth
I recently gave a talk at the University of Toronto on the topic of science and faith. I argued that modern science was birthed out of a theistic worldview. But if this is the case, why did the Roman Catholic Church persecute Galileo for doing science?
Is Theistic Evolution a Contradiction in Terms?
On a recent episode of the Stand to Reason weekly podcast, a supporter of STR took issue with one of the ways Greg Koukl and I argue against theistic evolution. Specifically, the caller did not agree with our argument that some forms of theistic evolution are a contradiction in terms. What I'd like to do is model for you how I would respond. Download the mp3...
Did Jesus Rise Physically from the Dead?
When a Jehovah's Witness tells you that they believe in the resurrection of Jesus, they mean something very different than what Christians mean. They believe that Jesus only rose spiritually from the dead, not physically. This month I want to offer an argument from Scripture for the physical resurrection of Jesus. Download the mp3...
Helping Students Think about the Evidence for Evolution
This month, I want to offer you is a helpful way for categorizing the evidence that is offered in support of macroevolution. By identifying which group any particular evidence belongs to, you will be able to offer a general response. After assessing numerous arguments for evolution, I have found that each falls into one of three categories: exaggerated extrapolations, egregious errors, and equivocal evidence. Download the mp3...
Was Adam a Historical Person?
There are a host of reasons why I believe Christians should not embrace macroevolution. Among the most serious is the theistic evolutionist's rejection of a historical Adam. In this podcast, Tim walks through three biblical reasons why denying a real Adam creates many more problems than it solves. Download the mp3...

WordPress Plugin: WP Global Screen Options v0.1
I've just released a new WP-plugin: WP Global Screen Options. It's a simple little plug that lets Administrators set global «Screen Options» for all users of a WP-site (both existing and new ones) when adding/editing Posts and Pages and/or on the Dashboard – with an option to hide the «Screen Options»-tab if necessary.
WordPress Plugin: YouTube SimpleGallery 1.0
Wow! It's been seven months since the last update of the YouTube SimpleGallery plugin. A lot has happened since then, not the least the release of WordPress 3.0.

WordPress Plugin: YouTube SimpleGallery v0.4 beta
A new version of the YouTube Simple Gallery plugin is just released. When WordPress 2.9 was released, it included oEmbed support for – among other things – YouTube videos. A nice feature, for sure, but it spelled trouble for YouTube SimpleGallery.
WordPress Plugin: YouTube SimpleGallery v0.3 beta
I've just released a new version of the YouTube Simple Gallery plugin. It's mostly bug fixes; the plugin didn't work right when displaying multiple galleries on a Page, or if multiple Posts had a gallery and where displayed in the same context, f.i. on the Homepage. Continue reading
WordPress Plugin: YouTube SimpleGallery v0.2 beta
It's only six days since I launched YouTube SimpleGallery v0.1 beta, and already it's seen over 100 downloads. User feedback has been good. Some users have asked for an option to include titles/descriptions in the gallery, and I'm happy to say that this option is included in v0.2 beta.

A simple white obelisk, its four faces reflecting the role Yeppoon's men and women played in international conflicts, the first being WWI, provides an integrated precinct of remembrance in this coastal central Queensland town. Look a little further and other traces of the grief and national pride felt by this community after WWI can be found.
Trees, symbolising continuing life, were planted two metres apart in 1921 along The Esplanade (now called Anzac Parade), Normanby Street and James Street. Commemorative plaques for individual lost soldiers were originally installed under the trees.
Mature hoop pines, chosen for their longevity and suitability to withstand seaside condition, have flourished along Anzac Parade. They extend around the corner into Normanby Street.
James Street's plantings didn't fare so well. The coconut palm trees with small concrete cairns at their base are more recent plantings. Only two brass plaques commemorating individual servicemen survive in place.
When the obelisk and surrounds were restored in 2010, a marble tablet listing the 68 townsmen who enlisted in WWI, was incorporated on the eastern face.
Plaques commemorating the enlisted for WWII, Korea and Vietnam have been added.
