Title: Disappointing time-waster
Review: This is a very frustrating book. The recipes are vague and often incomplete (e.g. in one recipe for stilton she has you putting the curd in a mold, turning it a few times and then later aging the cheese...but no indication of when it is to be removed from the mold). Quantities are often imprecise or missing. If you use the book in conjunction with her website [...] it's doubly frustrating, since there are tons of discrepancies between the book and the website. In one case I found three differing instructions for the same procedure between the website and the book. Perhaps this is a good book if you are experienced and already know all the ins and outs of cheesemaking but if you are a beginner and need clear step-by-step instructions look elsewhere. Home cheesemaking is time-consuming and requires equipment and supplies so you don't want to be working from a book as carelessly put together as this one.
