Hi
I am very keen to have a go at making some Red Leicester. This is my FAVOURITE cheese !!

Does anyone have a good recipe? I will have to use the regular milk bought from the supermarket. Hope you can help. thanks

Started a megathread about recipes many moons ago. Hasn't been updated in a good long while but I think there is a Red Leicester on it.

Hi Iezzo
Yes, there is a red leicester on your list, and a bonus for me, there is are 2 Lancashires, a Cotswold and some Wensleydale aswell. ! Must still be Christmas !! hahaha.
One query though, can recipes be halved? some of the quantites seem a bit big for me to deal with as a beginner.
thanks very much
Ian

Finally opened my Red Leicester after 16 weeks....A 'bitter' disappointment. Formed well, aged well, good texture, but a bitter aftertaste..... this cheese was made in my early days, and I know now I did not cut the curd small enough, and too much whey was left in the cheese. Still, it IS cheese..

I have found this embarrassing photo of the cut curds for this cheese...the curds are just a bit on the large size !!!
