The Proof is in the Cheese

The idea behind most of my cheese recipes is that you can use the cheeses to replace their dairy counterparts in every way, including in almost any recipe that calls for cheese. You can store them as long in your refrigerator—and some of them just keep getting better with time. So read on and make several of the cheeses in chapters 1 through 4. Although it may seem daunting at first, they’re really quite easy to make. Once you have them on hand in your fridge, you can pull out some old cookbooks, dust them off, and replicate old favorite recipes that called for cheese. Maybe you’ll be craving a grilled cheese sandwich, or perhaps you’ll want to put together an amazing cheese plate for a party. Either way, all you’ll need to do is go to your refrigerator.
