This is the book I gift to friends just getting started making their own dairy products! I've purchased or borrowed many home dairy-ing books, and this is the one I keep coming back to. It feels written for me! I use raw milk in my creations.

The author explains everything, from the science (the how and why) behiind making dairy products, the different types of starter cultures, how ingredients behave and their purposes, essential kitchen equipment, as well as very clear recipes for: butters (such as ghee, compound butter, cultured butter), fermented dairy (yogurt, true buttermilk, kefir, sour cream and more), cheeses (from beginner cheeses like queso blanco, cream cheese, ricotta, mozzarella to more advanced cheeses like cheddar and Parmesan), ice creams, as well as recipes for DIY body care products. Also included are a few cooking recipes utilizing homemade dairy. My favorite is the saag paneer recipe. So delicious! For a general dairy making book, this is the go-to. There are other specialty books out there that cover specific topics more thoroughly...for example, I have huge cheese-making bibles, and a great fermentation book...but this one touches on ALL the basics for a wide variety of dairy products.

Step-by-step clear photos and directions really take the mystery out of making your own dairy products.

Throughout the book are Portraits, little entertaining glimpses into the backgrounds of a selection of people who are expert dairy-makers. Nice to read while stirring or waiting for the milk to get to temperature.

I would recommend this to anyone interested in making their own dairy products, new to it or even someone with experience looking for some new ideas - above any other general dairy books out there. It's fun, it's smart, and it can empower you to take on any dairy project!

Informative, but intimidating for me as a beginner.
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2012

This book is very well written and I can tell that the author loves what she does. It has pretty photos of different cheeses, and dairy products throughout the whole book and it is very informative. Ashley English makes sure that the reader has a good understanding about cheesemaking and what equipment is needed in order to successfully make homemade cheese. She even gives tips for making homemade yogurt without a yogurt maker, and how to make hard cheeses with a DIY cheese press if a person doesn't have a real cheese press at home. Although I found this book to be a great resource on making homemade dairy products, I have to admit that I am intimidated by this book. There are some great recipes for simple dairy products, but I feel that some of the cheese recipes are a bit too advanced for the beginner. I will keep this book and build up my confidence to try out the recipes, but I do admit to being overwhelmed with some of the ideas in this book.

If you are like me and wish to get away from all the chemically/pesticide infused processed food that are on the market this book is for you! It covers not only how to make what is within the book it also covers the history and tricks to apply while making whatever dairy you have decided to make from within. I will admit that I have a large supply of tools at my disposal because I have been making homemade foods for a great many years. I mention this because certain tools may be needed to make some of the more advanced items such as a cheese press for hard cheeses. The book does tell alternative ways on how to make items as well such as using a food processor to churn butter (actual butter churns are expensive compared to a mini food processor) so don't think you will need an arsenal of new tools to make items yet be prepared to obtain said items if you wish to do as suggested in some cases within the book (oh fyi in regard to butter, it also stated you can use a mason jar and your muscles as a churn if you don't want added expenses to what you create) .

I would give this book 5 stars for the variety of foods it covers, but 3 stars for the completeness of instructions. So far I have only made the buttermilk and the yogurt, but there was some important information missing that made me have to go searching the internet to find out: when making the yogurt, is it important or not that I not disturb it when it is culturing? when and how do I flavor it, before or after culturing? can I use (store bought) flavored yogurt as my starter, or does it have to be unsweetened and plain? There is the most basic yogurt "recipe," but most people, I think, are probably going to want flavored yogurt, so some recipe additions would have been very helpful. Otherwise it seems to be very thorough and I'm excited to make some of the wonderful things in here like creme fraiche and feta!

We are lucky enough to be able to get raw milk regularly, so I am very interested in using it! This book has great, detailed instructions for pretty much everything I ever dreamed of doing.

I have not tried the aged cheeses yet; I am lacking a "cheese cave" in which to age them.

The cultured products are wonderful, though! And so are the "quick" non-aged cheeses. The directions are well-thought-out and nicely illustrated, and the recipes WORK. This paneer recipe is better than the previous ones I've tried, and I love being able to make queso fresco.

It's dairying 101, sure- but it's such an excellent introduction to the potential!

"Home Dairy," by Ashley English has beautiful pictures throughout, is well written with simple step by step instructions on how to make butter, keifer, yogurt, cottage cheese, soft and hard cheeses. As you have to let them age, hard cheeses are the most labor intensive of all the home dairy products you make. I checked it out from the library and was so taken with it that I purchased my own reference copy. For the new comer to making home dairy, I highly recommend this book. English's instructions will make the thought of making your own dairy products way less intimidating.
