Kylie is just starting her cheesemaking adventure, thanks to the gift of a workshop she attended last summer. Her story reminds us that workshops make the best gifts for aspiring cheesemakers. (As a bonus, after the workshop, the giver becomes the happy recipient of homemade cheese!) Kylie’s Story I live with my family in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia – my husband Andrew, our 2 teenagers, Felicity
Kathy Lynch in Queensland, Australia
I live on 45 acres of beautiful land on the Sunshine Coast with an abundance of forests, creeks and bees. A lot of my time is spent mowing, restoring the forest and gardening.

Jennifer Rollins in Sydney, Australia
Jennifer seems to be good at everything she does – she’s an “A student” through and through. She started a food blog in 2014 and, as you would expect, the recipes are very well done.

Rob Goris in Sydney, Australia
Australia is a country where raw milk of any kind is simply illegal to sell. Fortunately, it is possible to make fabulous cheese from pasteurized milk if you know what you’re doing, and Rob Goris certainly does.

Mysterious New Milk Processing Technology
We have no idea what this is! (Well, we didn’t until the update at the end…) According to the CEO of Naturo All Natural Technologies, Jeff Hastings, he has invented a new way of pasteurizing milk without heating it. He says it’s the biggest breakthrough in the dairy industry since pasteurization was first invented in 1864. This process not only clears the milk of “bad”
Purple Onion Feta with Andy Cumberland
Andy Cumberland with his Drunken Nut Cheese Back to Basics Down Under I asked Andy to send me a picture of himself making cheese and I received this – I didn’t get the time to make cheese this weekend. I did make home grown pesto, bread rolls, beef jerky and Thai chicken sausages. Is that all?!! I had begun my correspondence with Andy after
