      This is a love story about cheese

      From the first time I met Jean Mansfield at the New Zealand Cheese Awards some years ago I realised here was a cheese soul mate, a person truly in love with cheese and all aspects of the process of making it.
      As she details in this book, her journey from novice to expert has been an inspiring one. That she has done so in such a short period of time is credit to her enthusiasm, professionalism and genuine thirst for knowledge. I have followed her rapid progress over the last few years in awe of the knowledge she has gained.
      Jean is an inspiration to any one starting out in the world of cheese. The attention to detail in all aspects of Jean’s instructions, from sourcing milk, to equipment, to the recipes and maturation, is indeed impressive. There is no one recipe for making a particular cheese, however Jean has made the process as simple and easy to follow as possible without compromising the outcome of a quality cheese at the end of the day.
      I would highly recommend this book to anyone thinking they may like to try their hand at cheese making as well as those already on the journey. There is much to be gained by reading this valuable addition to our cheese-making knowledge.

      The Happy Cheesemaker’s Encyclopedia

      A good friend introduced me to Jean Mansfield’s books and videos several years ago. Much as I adore cooking, I never considered making cheese until Jean showed me the fun I’d been missing. With her skilful guidance, I quickly found myself wholly smitten with this ancient art.
      Once content to buy cheese from my local fromagerie, more often than not I find myself reaching for Jean’s recipes and tips for culinary inspiration. Her handy checklist and step-by-step instruction instill confidence amongst the most reticent fromagère.
      This book is as close as you can get to having a master cheesemaker in the kitchen with you. Jean has thought of everything the novice and experienced cheesemaker needs to know. She offers the practical advice only someone with decades of hands-on-experience can impart. I especially appreciate her chapter on “What Went Wrong” – all cookery books should have a section like this but they never do. Knowing what can go wrong helps avoid some of the common pitfalls encountered when mastering a new skill.
      I regularly make Jean’s 30-minute mozzarella for my homemade pizzas. It tastes better than the expensive stuff sold in stores. And although this is a cheese book you’ll find her recipes for butter and yoghurt infinitely useful. What trencherman can resist the unmistakably taste of homemade butter?
      While you probably won’t make all 50-plus cheeses featured here, you will get a lot of pleasure and practical tutoring from this exceptionally detailed book. Now everybody can make cheese with the irrepressible Jean Mansfield, even if you’re not lucky enough to live in New Zealand.

    Learn the secrets to successful cheesemaking with cheesemaker, teacher and cheese judge Jean Mansfield.

    Lots of people are put off by what seems to be an expensive and complex hobby, but making delicious gourmet cheese can be cheap and simple when you know how. You could buy a luxurious blue Stilton at your supermarket for $100 a kilogram, or you could make it with bottled milk from the same supermarket for just $25.

    How to Make Cheese covers what every would-be cheesemaker needs to know to create masterpiece cheeses in their own kitchen. Experienced cheesemaker, teacher and NZ Champion of Cheese judge Jean Mansfield carefully guides those new to cheesemaking through the little tips and tricks that lead to great cheeses every time.

    There’s how to get started if you’re on a budget, DIY equipment options that are easy to make and inexpensive, plus detailed descriptions of the processes so you can learn how to make cheese successfully, and – if the worst happens – why it went wrong and how to fix it.

    It includes 50 recipes for artisan cheeses, from the very easy – all you need is store-bought creamy milk, a lemon and salt – to 30-minute mozzarella and halloumi, butter and yoghurt-making, and on to the more spectacular aged cheeses like parmesan, cheddar, blues, and amazing washed rind stinkers.
