I am getting more & more interested in making my own cheese. I have made variously flavoured simple cream cheeses but nothing more complicated. This recipe/method of making a 30 minute version of Mozzarella dropped into my inbox today, so I thought I would post it on the forum as it looks rather easy & un-frightening. I know I can buy rennet in Waitrose & I already have citric acid (in stock, waiting for the elderflowers, to make cordial)....I just need a new accurate thermometer (I seem to have mislaid my old one).

I will post any other cheese-making recipes & info on this thread, that way I won't loose them & you can see them too. Please add to them as we seem to be good at this collection of tips, advice, recipes etc. on various subjects we are interested in pursuing.

Butter from the whey? Not heard of that one.
I use the whey in making bread because it makes a really soft loaf.
I have used nettles to make cheese before as I can't get rennet easily here.
Joanna can you explain exactly how you use the nettles.....I have masses of them, they spring up everywhere so it would be sensible to make use of them, after all they are free.....LOL

Joanna, do you do it like this ? This looks like a very useful site, I must explore further.

I also found these two pages, esoterica I know, but that is the kind of stuff I enjoy hunting out....!!
