Good for Intermediate Home Cheese Makers4
I like this book because it has several recipes that are NOT included in Carroll's book (the bible of home cheese making), and lots of really nice pictures, both hand drawn and photographs. That said, I would go with Carroll's book if you're just starting out, as it has more detailed step by step information on the process of making cheese. But once you've mastered those basics, this is a great book for expanding your recipe collection.

Nothing Artisan About It1
Considering that the title features the word "Artisan" I expected a little more than what other cheesemaking books on the market contain. Instead I found less. It is more of a recap of other cheesemaking 101 primers, with less detail and less information. This book contains nothing of interest to anyone trying to take their cheese making skills to the next level. Steer clear.

Great Book for Cheese Making5
This book has many great recipes for delicious cheeses you can make yourself. I found the instructions to be quite clear however it is better suited for someone who already has at least some experience with making cheese. This is a great addition to anyone's cheese making library and I highly recommend it.
