Hi There,
A new virgin cheesemaker here in the South of England. I got given a starter kit for soft and hard cheeses, plus the Ricki Carroll book last week for my birthday, so I am raring to go!
I'm already a craft brewer and a keen cook, so I enjoy making my own gourmet treats - and as I've always loved cheese, it seemed like a natural extension.
Anyway - I have a local goat farm about a mile up the road, so I'm going to nip up there and buy some fresh goats milk and have a crack at making some chevre tomorrow.
Wish me luck!
Alasdair
