The key to becoming a successful artisan cheesemaker is to develop
the intuition essential for problem solving and developing unique
styles of cheeses. There are an increasing number of books on the
market about making cheese, but none approaches the intricacies of
cheesemaking science alongside considerations for preparing each
type of cheese variety in as much detail as Mastering Artisan
Cheesemaking. Indeed, this book fills a big hole in the market.
Beginner guides leave you wanting more content and explanation of
process, while recipe-based cookbooks often fail to dig deeper into
the science, and therefore don't allow for a truly intuitive
cheesemaker to develop. Acclaimed cheesemaker Gianaclis Caldwell
has written the book she wishes existed when she was starting out.
Every serious home-scale artisan cheesemaker-even those just
beginning to experiment-will want this book as their bible to take
them from their first quick mozzarella to a French mimolette, and
ultimately to designing their own unique cheeses. This
comprehensive and user-friendly guide thoroughly explains the art
and science that allow milk to be transformed into epicurean
masterpieces. Caldwell offers a deep look at the history, science,
culture, and art of making artisan cheese on a small scale, and
includes detailed information on equipment and setting up a
home-scale operation. A large part of the book includes extensive
process-based recipes dictating not only the hard numbers, but also
the concepts behind each style of cheese and everything you want to
know about affinage (aging) and using oils, brushes, waxes,
infusions, and other creative aging and flavoring techniques. Also
included are beautiful photographs, profiles of other cheesemakers,
and in-depth appendices for quick reference in the preparation and
aging room. Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking will also prove an
invaluable resource for those with, or thinking of starting, a
small-scale creamery. Let Gianaclis Caldwell be your mentor, guide,
and cheering section as you follow the pathway to a mastery of
cheesemaking. For the avid home hobbyist to the serious commercial
artisan, Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking is an irreplaceable
resource.
