What’s in Episode #5?

In this episode of Know Your Food with Wardee, I’m interviewing myself. No kidding! I thought about what questions you may have about culturing dairy and I answered them.

Here are some of the questions I answered:

  • How did I and my family get into raising our own raw dairy?
  • What’s the “magic” of culturing dairy and making cheese?
  • Why is homemade cultured dairy so healthy?
  • How you do make simple soft cheese?
  • How is every cultured dairy or cheese recipe the same — just tweaks of the same basic process?
  • What’s the best milk for culturing?
  • How can culturing go wrong?
  • What’s the difference between traditional mozzarella and the quick 30-minute version you see in books and on the web?
