Learn how to make cheese at home from scratch and create your own delicious sweet and savoury cheese-based recipes with There's Always Room for Cheese.

There's Always Room for Cheese is the debut cheese cookbook by chef Colin Wood. Colin has worked in some of the world's best restaurants as the self-proclaimed 'casual cheese guy', and now he wants to teach everyone from amateur cooks to experienced chefs the skills he has learned, including how to make, store and eat cheese.

In this book, Colin will take you back to the basics to create your favourite types of cheese, from the equipment and ingredients you'll need right through to concocting the perfect cheeseboard to impress your guests. There's Always Room for Cheese also features a range of deliciously creative cheesy dishes - fromage blanc and strawberry doughnut, anyone? Each chapter is divided into different types of cheese from white mould to semi-hard and there's even a chapter on whey and what to do with your waste.

This is the perfect opportunity for budding and experienced cheesemakers to have fun with their food at home and to explore the world of cheese with the help of an expert. It's easy to make cheese at home - all you need to know is how!
