Last year we had a promotion going for awhile where, if you sent in a recipe with a picture of it, you received a gift certificate to our store (cheesemaking.com). We had quite a few responses and one of them was from Brooke Emily Moore. She sent in 2 recipes (the ones below) with pictures. I ended up posting many of the recipes on this
Cameron Arsenault (16) Making Mozzarella
“It sounds like fun to me!” (And it was!) It seems to us that by now everybody should know how it is easy to make Mozzarella with our 30 minute recipe.
