How to make Dead Cow cheese– an introduction

I have been experimenting with different cheese making techniques in an attempt at making a unique cheese that is wonderful – never mind trying out the standard tried and true techniques. In my research on cheese making I found out that alcohol will curdle cheese without the loss of calcium. Acid based curdling releases a lot of the calcium from the milk into the whey hence cheese makers add back the calcium in the form of

How to make homemade cream cheese from yogurt– an introduction

The last experiment on yogurt cream cheese based cheesecake was very good creamy cheese. I tried it again with 3% baking soda and found a difference. And then I realised that in the previous experiment the baking soda I had used was very old stock and it was very week. This time around I used 1% baking soda and it was much better. There are other issues but I will discuss

How to make homemade cream cheese from yogurt– an introduction

The last experiment for cream cheese on cheesecake was very sour and this time around I focused on the cheese making process. I believe I had solved most of the problems caused by the sour flavour. And you are lucky that I delay publishing this recipe by three days. On the day I made the cream cheese from yogurt, the taste was OK and at least it was not extremely sour.

 How to make cheesecake with homemade yogurt cheese – an introduction

The last experiment on cheesecake (see previous cheesecake recipe) went very wrong but it was a good experiment it that I accidentally made a nice salad sauce from the yogurt cheese. This time around I tried extra water in the dough and baked at a lower temperature and after a second bake (What you did a second bake? … Yes… because I was trying to recover from another disaster) the

How to make cheesecake with homemade yogurt cheese – an introduction

I was looking at the pizza dough (see how to make homemade pizza bread with yeast ) and wondered if it could be converted to a pastry crust recipe then I thought that if I could convert it into a pastry and what should I do with the excess pastry dough? Furthermore, I had to make an interesting filling for the pastry. I had tried my hand at Indian Paneer  (see  how

Indian Cheese – Paneer and other experiments

 

This is a log of my trials and tribulations at cheese making. Looking back I really wonder what got into me to start cheese making. I guess I love the flavour of genuine cheese and considering the price of cheese in Malaysia which is about RM50 (USD$16/-) to RM150 (USD$48/-) per kg and that is way too expensive for the average Malaysia to afford eating it every day.

My first attempt, in February 2011, was to try to make the simplest of all recipes which is the Indian
