Product Information: - Title of Product: The Art of Natural Cheesemaking: Using Traditional, Non-Industrial Methods and Raw Ingredients to Make the World's Best Cheeses [Royal Edition] Author: Asher, David Katz, Sandor Ellix Number of Pages: 320 Publication Year: 2015 Language: English Book Synopsis: - Including more than 35 step-by-step recipes from the Black Sheep School of Cheesemaking Most DIY cheesemaking books are hard to follow, complicated, and confusing, and call for the use of packaged freeze-dried cultures, chemical additives, and expensive cheesemaking equipment. For though bread baking has its sourdough, brewing its lambic ales, and pickling its wild fermentation, standard Western cheesemaking practice today is decidedly unnatural. In The Art of Natural Cheesemaking, David Asher practices and preaches a traditional, but increasingly countercultural, way of making cheese--one that is natural and intuitive, grounded in ecological principles and biological science. This book encourages home and small-scale commercial cheesemakers to take a different approach by showing them: - How to source good milk, including raw milk; - How to keep their own bacterial starter cultures and fungal ripening cultures; - How make their own rennet--and how to make good cheese without it; - How to avoid the use of plastic equipment and chemical additives; and - How to use appropriate technologies. Introductory chapters explore and explain the basic elements of cheese: milk, cultures, rennet, salt, tools, and the cheese cave. The fourteen chapters that follow each examine a particular class of cheese, from kefir and paneer to washed-rind and alpine styles, offering specific recipes and handling advice. The techniques presented are direct and thorough, fully illustrated with hand-drawn diagrams and triptych photos that show the transformation of cheeses in a comparative and dynamic fashion. The Art of Natural Cheesemaking is the first cheesemaking book to take a political stance against Big Dairy and to criticize both standard industrial and artisanal cheesemaking practices. It promotes the use of ethical animal rennet and protests the use of laboratory-grown freeze-dried cultures. It also explores how GMO technology is creeping into our cheese and the steps we can take to stop it. This book sounds a clarion call to cheesemakers to adopt more natural, sustainable practices. It may well change the way we look at cheese, and how we make it ourselves.

This is a beautiful, high-quality bound book. It is a trade paperback in terms of the paper stock, but the work they have done on it makes the final product truly special. It arrived very well packaged and in excellent condition. The seller was particularly attentive and supportive, ensuring the book could be delivered even after some difficulty due to my own work scheduling. They truly went above and beyond in getting the book to me, with excellent customer service alongside the beautiful book.
I've ordered from this seller before, and would definitely consider doing so again. If you're looking for a hard to find or out-of-print title in hardback, then they are a very good option. The books look nice, exactly as in the illustrative photos, and you can choose from a range of options for the binding. They look very nice on the shelf. Considering the distance they travel, they arrive quickly, and are well packaged. No complaints whatsoever!
