Ann Cliff grew up on a small holding in England with several goats and pigs. The family made simple cottage cheese and later graduated to a dairy farm milking Ayrshires and Friesians. She now lives with her husband in Gippsland, Victoria on an 80ha farm.
This book has several chapters on the handling and care of a dairy goat, cow, and sheep, milking, and how to make cheese and other dairy products.
Like bread, wine or beer, making your own yoghurt, butter and cheese is fun. It’s an age-old tradition neither difficult nor complicated, and very rewarding.
No room for a goat, cow or sheep? No matter. Just buy a few litres of milk and get straight into the process of making your own cream, butter, cheese and yoghurt.
