We first got to know Rebecca when she shared with us her method for making ricotta with a sous vide circulator (click here). It became apparent from her emails that she is an accomplished cook, as well as a fellow cheese maker. We thought you might like to know more about how Rebecca manages to use her many skills to raise a healthy family in
How to Make Ricotta with Your Sous Vide Circulator
The sous vide method has taken the cheese making world by storm! (In case you aren’t familiar with it, sous vide is the process of cooking food in plastic bags which are submerged in hot water.) Various sous vide appliances are being used by cheese makers to heat their milk and curds without worry about burning or scorching. The method shown here involves using a
Are Dinner Kit Deliveries For You?
I have to confess I’m not much of a cook – it’s so complicated from the shopping to the planning to the making, etcetera, etcetera. And, unfortunately, my husband is similarly “cooking challenged.” We eat a lot of peanut butter. However, there may be hope for us, because one of our cheese making sistas, Cateland White has found a solution to the whole “cooking supper
How to Add Humidity to Your Room Sized “Cave”
Yes, we do sell hygrometers for measuring humidity, but adding humidity is another story.

Unfortunately, when they brought out the cheeses from the competition for us to taste (the infamous Festival of Cheeses), there was a mad rush
How to Revive Furniture with Fabric Markers
I was shopping at our local Salvation Army 6 months ago and I saw a swivel chair for $25. It seemed solid, but the fabric was completely faded. I had an idea! What if I went over it with fabric markers? I really didn’t even know what they were, but I thought they might be my solution. As it happens, there was a craft store
Jack Aldridge in Iowa
I recently added Jack Aldridge to my list of the most fun and interesting cheese makers in the entire world. I admit – this is a long list, but Jack is up there at the top. His energy and enthusiasm for life seemed to burst through his e-mails. He’s the kind of person who just makes you feel glad you’re alive. At one point, in
Marc Freshman, Cheesemonger at Murray’s
Marc Freshman is the official cheesemonger for our 2016 Cheese Give-A-Whey which starts March 1st. Every time you place an order with us, you will be entered in a drawing for a pound of cave-aged cheese from Murray’s. Marc will be choosing the cheeses we give away and telling us why he chose them. Marc is right in the middle of the action at Murray’s.
