Perfect for enthusiasts eager to master both the science and craft of cheese making, it covers everything from fresh cheeses to complex aged varieties, plus cooking ideas to showcase your creations. ## Description Just a century ago, cheese was still a relatively regional and European phenomenon, and cheese making techniques were limited by climate, geography, and equipment. But modern technology along with the recent artisanal renaissance has opened up the diverse, time-honored, and dynamic world of cheese to enthusiasts willing to take its humble fundamentals—milk, starters, coagulants, and salt—and transform them into complex edibles. Artisan Cheese Making at Home is the most ambitious and comprehensive guide to home cheese making, filled with easy-to-follow instructions for making mouthwatering cheese and dairy items. Renowned cooking instructor Mary Karlin has spent years working alongside the country’s most passionate artisan cheese producers—cooking, creating, and learning the nuances of their trade. She presents her findings in this lavishly illustrated guide, which features more than eighty recipes for a diverse range of cheeses: from quick and satisfying Mascarpone and Queso Blanco to cultured products like Crème Fraîche and Yogurt to flavorful selections like Saffron-Infused Manchego, Irish-Style Cheddar, and Bloomy Blue Log Chèvre. Artisan Cheese Making at Home begins with a primer covering milks, starters, cultures, natural coagulants, and bacteria—everything the beginner needs to get started. The heart of the book is a master class in home cheese making: building basic skills with fresh cheeses like ricotta and working up to developing and aging complex mold-ripened cheeses. Also covered are techniques and equipment, including drying, pressing, and brining, as well as molds and ripening boxes. Last but not least, there is a full chapter on cooking with cheese that includes more than twenty globally-influenced recipes featuring the finished cheeses, such as Goat Cheese and Chive Fallen Soufflés with Herb-Citrus Vinaigrette and Blue Cheese, Bacon, and Pear Galette. Offering an approachable exploration of the alchemy of this extraordinary food, Artisan Cheese Making at Home proves that hand-crafting cheese is not only achievable, but also a fascinating and rewarding process. Review: My Whey - I found this book after a couple of false starts trying to find a book which had enough detail about both the process of making cheese and some of the basic science of what was happening. This book filled that gap perfectly. Lots of information, lots of detailed recipes and helpful troubleshooting advice when things don't turn out as you planned. I have already made some of the cheeses and plan to try many more, a really great resource. Its also a beautiful book with detailed pictures of how some of the hand made cheeses should turn out. If you are really interested in making cheese at home this is the book you need. Review: Great Book that explains everything (in US measures only) - I love this book. It takes you through A to Z about cheeses and making them. It certainly explains everything. I just wish that some (not all) American authors could realise that there is a world outside of America and it's very big. They use metric in the most and it would be nice if American authors could write down the amounts, weights, measures in both Imperial and metric, like most authors do in the rest of the world. Her website is a great back up to the book too! It's got everything and supports the book beautifully. Although that too starts off with, "We Americans love our...." Other people outside of the US actually do read the book and go to the site my dear. There is a conversion table at the back of the book though, which is a nice afterthought, but remember that a US Gallon and US Pint are different to a British Pint and British Gallon! It's very important to get everything right when making cheese, or it won't come out well. Check everything very carefully and double check conversions if you live outside of the US. However, you won't go wrong with this excellent book. I have a few books on the subject and this is by far the best I've come across. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 381,667 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 478 in Cheese & Dairy 911 in Cooking Equipment (Books) 31,186 in Home & Garden (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 760 Reviews | ## Images ![Artisan Cheese Making at Home: Techniques & Recipes for Mastering World-Class Cheeses: Techniques & Recipes for Mastering World-Class Cheeses [A Cookbook] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81eH1+cYeZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Whey *by G***S on 13 January 2014* I found this book after a couple of false starts trying to find a book which had enough detail about both the process of making cheese and some of the basic science of what was happening.

Beautiful photos, lots of really good explanation of processes and ingredients and lots of recipes. The only downside is that is an American book by an American author. All measurements are in cups and gallons, which can be converted. What is a real shame is that the suppliers list is obviously a US one and it would be lovely to have UK suppliers listed. That said it is a book I would recommend for anyone who wants to get into the nitty gritty of making hard cheese at home, it's like returning to the science lab at school! ## Frequently Bought Together - Artisan Cheese Making at Home: Techniques & Recipes for Mastering World-Class Cheeses [A Cookbook] - Home Cheese Making, 4th Edition: From Fresh and Soft to Firm, Blue, Goat’s Milk, and More; Recipes for 100 Favorite Cheeses - The Art of Natural Cheesemaking: Using Traditional, Non-Industrial Methods and Raw Ingredients to Make the World's Best 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.be/products/50670226-artisan-cheese-making-at-home-techniques-and-recipes-for-mastering](https://www.desertcart.be/products/50670226-artisan-cheese-making-at-home-techniques-and-recipes-for-mastering) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
