Here it is, the final post of November's NaBloPoMo, and it is to be much the same as any other post, a snapshot of our day. 
C went to a cheesemaking class at the library. They made organic fresh mozzerella (I love the library). She learned about how the proteins are formed into curds, and helped separate the curds and the whey. C didn't actually like the end product, but her sister and I thought it was delicious. Does anyone reading this have any suggestions for making cheese without rennet? Otherwise, I'll do some homework to research my options....
S played on the library computer to occupy her time.
Meaning vegetarian rennet? I use a veg rennet from The Dairy Connection for rennet based cheeses. I also make a TON of yogurt cheese, farmer's cheese, cottage cheese, and ricotta, using lemon or vinegar.
ReplyDeleteMozzarella is fun too - here is the recipe we use:

And I use recipes from here very often:

Thanks, Denise. I'm a total newbie at cheesemaking, but I knew I didn't want veal rennet, so veg. rennet is what I was looking for. Thanks for the info and the links!
