Made a traditional mozzarella tonight but due to changing plans, my timings were WAY off. After cutting the curds, I ended up letting them rest for ... 6 hours 😅

So I just continued with cooking the curds at that point and didn't bother to let them ripen anymore. Ended up with a curd that stretched fine! Nice and tangy too

I just wish my poor timing didn't cause me to stay up past 3 AM finishing that cheese.

I did finally finish my first historical romance, A BLOOMY HEAD, which is about a trans doctor and a widowed cheesemaker in Shropshire, and it is now available for preorder on several platforms.

Two round cheeses on a wooden board. The fresh one is white with the surface mirroring the mold's drainholes, the ripe one a light orange-brown with a wrinkled surface and visibly shrunk.

A #bluecheese I made on April 27, finally came out of the "cave" a couple of days ago. Mild, not as funky as it looks.

The moment of truth! After peeling off 3 layers of traditionally wrapped lard/cheesecloth we appear to have a cheddar! #cheddar #cheesemaking
