Say Cheese!: A Kid's Guide to Cheese Making with Recipes for Mozzarella, Cream Cheese, Feta & Other Favorites by Sarah Carroll, Ricki Carroll

3.0

Not sure if there should be a kids book to make cheese. I think there might be too much frustration, and not enough rewards, the way there is for ordinary cookbooks. Plus, there is a lot more equipment that has to be purchase, to even make the cheese, while ordinary cookbooks you can make do with what is around the house.

Having said that, once you have gotten the equipment, then you have to use it too. This is not the fault of the book, but the fault of cheese itself, that it isn't a one or two hour thing, except for a few soft cheeses. To make up for that this book also talks about making yogurt, which is not quite cheese, but ok.

And I know that there are kids that are really into making cheese, and do a good job at it, and perhaps this book is for them, but because of the amount of milk that is needed, it can be quite expensive if you don't have a goat or a cow that you can milk at any time.

So, the book is ok. I didn't try any of the recipes, although I have made yogurt and whipped cream, which are some of the other things you can make in this book.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
