This revised and updated edition of the best-selling classic by “Cheese Queen” Ricki Carroll features an expanded selection of cheese recipes, all-new recipes for cooking with cheese, and contemporary cheesemonger profiles. 

Widely acclaimed as “the Cheese Queen,” Ricki Carroll has guided thousands of home cheese makers and inspired the burgeoning popularity of artisanal cheese making with her classic book, Home Cheese Making, first published in 1982, with over 400,000 copies in print.

The completely updated fourth edition features 35 new cheese recipes, color photography of step-by-step techniques, and new profiles of contemporary cheese makers. The additions to this comprehensive volume reflect the broader selection of cheeses available in specialty food stores and groceries, including burrata, stracchino, Brillat-Savarin, D’Affinois, Cambrales, Drunk Gouda, Pecorino Pepato, goat milk’s gouda, and more.

  • “I just wanted to make edible cheese for my family, but Ricki — with her precise yet engaging recipes — lured me so deeply into the magic and science of cheese making that I have yet to escape, and it’s been thirty-five years.” — Mary Keehn, Founder, Cypress Grove Cheese 

    “This magical idea of making cheese at home was one of the first skills I set my sights on as a fledgling homesteader. Home Cheese Making has been my primary guide throughout all my home dairy adventures, and my sticky, tattered copy is a testament to the usefulness of this book! Without a doubt, this is the homemade cheese resource I recommend the most.” — Jill Winger, Author, The Prairie Homestead Cookbook
     
    “Home Cheese Making is a timeless classic. Ricki Carroll has been inspiring cheese makers at home for a generation and she continues to demystify the world’s most complex food in this latest edition.” — Mateo Kehler, Cofounder, Jasper Hill Farms

    “This book covers everything the novice cheesemaker needs to know about making delicious cheese on the first try” — San Francisco Examiner
     
    “A must-read for anyone interested in cheese making!…offering abled cheese makers knowledge to excel at their craft and novices a world of information…” — Jodi Wische, Old Chatham Sheepherding Co.
