My goal here isn't really to compare the two, but let me just say that Wardeh and Ashley each emphasizes different things and their methods vary somewhat. But that makes it all the more exciting, right? There's more than one way to skin a ... well, you get the point.
Whenever I consider a new book, I usually scan the back cover, read a little about the author, and then head for the table of contents so I have an idea of the topics the writer is covering. Here's a peak the Table of Contents for Home Dairy so you can see for yourself...
 |
| Ashley English |
2. Ingredients (includes types of cultures and bacteria)
3. Equipment (tools)
4. Butter and Ghee
5. Cultured Dairy
6. Cheese (13 kinds plus instructions for a homemade cheese press)
7. Ice Cream
8. Recipes
9. Body Care (recipes for personal care products using dairy)
Once again, Ashley's signature organizational skills make this book pleasing to pick up and read. The photos are fairly comprehensive so you get a good idea of what you should be doing in each step, particularly for the cheese and whipped butter. And in all, there are over 40 recipes and 7 profiles of dairy hobbyist.
Interested yet? I thought so. Whether your a rural or an urban homesteader, making your own cheese, yogurt, and butter would be divine! Now if we all could just get some raw milk, we'd be set.

Thanks again,

I have always wanted to learn how to make my own dairy products. My husband and I have been seriously talking about our next livestock purchase and we have settled on a dairy heffer. We made this decision because we have seen first hand the price of butter and cheese go up by a dollar in the last few months. Homemade dairy products as well as soaps have to be 1000% better than store bought!
ReplyDeleteI have made yogurt, but would be interested to learn more about the world of dairy. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a great book! The only dairy product I have ever made (so far) was butter, but I would love to learn more and to expand my "recipes".
ReplyDeleteOK, I have never, ever won anything blogging...but I need/want this one!
ReplyDeleteWe just got three Lamancha goats over the weekend, the doe is due in less that two weeks and I need a crash course in dairy!
Posted on my Facebook!
ReplyDeleteTweeted it!
ReplyDeleteWe've been making soft cheese and yogurt from our goat milk.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn to make other cheeses and butter.
I make yogurt in my crock pot quite often. But, I would love how to make my own cheese. This sounds like a wonderful book!
ReplyDeleteAmy,
ReplyDeleteWe made homemade butter for the first time a couple months ago ( http://oursimplelife-sc.com/2011/02/05/friday-night%E2%80%99s-entertainment%E2%80%A6/) it was so much fun watching the butter come together. We are building our farm and have plans to get a dairy cow soon so we can start making butter, cheese and other diary products on a regular basis. A gallon of raw milk at our local natural food store is $8 a gallon and not a very economical choice so we are anxious to get our barn built so we too can enjoy homemade diary products everyday.
I do make a few dairy products...and now that I've found a source of Black Market milk, I intend to do more. We make yogurt regularly and also mozzerella/ricotta cheeses. Next up is hard cheeses....but I need to research using the basement as a 'cheese cave' for aging.
ReplyDeleteI don't make any cheese products at this time, but it would be good to learn and add to my homesteading repertoire.
ReplyDeleteMy husband makes homemade yogurt. I still haven't developed a taste for it though. I make soft cheeses like mozzerela, feta, paneer, and farmer's cheese. I really enjoy it and want to expand. I have kefir culturing on the counter right now for the first time. I get a little nervous leaving milk sit on the counter overnight, so I think that is why I like making the cheeses. I haven't heard about this book; great give-a-way.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this! Our plan is to get a couple of dairy goats this summer so I am about to embark on a big learning curve! Thank you for this great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteclarksrfun at gmail dot com
Presently, I make yogurt. I want to make cheese, learn more about cultured dairy as well. In the next ten years, we hope to be ready to add animals to our small plot of land, and we want to maximize it all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this giveaway!
Oh this is great! Even if I don't win I might have to spend some swagbucks on this book anyway! I make my own butter from raw milk and I have made buttermilk (real butter milk!) and sour cream as well. I really want to start making soft and hard cheeses but don't want to shell out the money for an expensive press! Please enter me in the drawing and I hope to have my blog up and running soon! Until then I'll just drool over yours!!! Thanks
ReplyDeletebellesgal@aol.com
I do not make any at home yet, but I would love to make butter and cheese. I think one day those two fresh ingredients are not going to be very readily available to us and it would be nice to be able to make my own for my family members!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted about it also. :)
ReplyDeleteI also posted on Facebook! Thanks AMy! Great giveawy!
ReplyDeleteI was JUST drooling over this book yesterday. All of her books look amazing, and I can't wait to read them. We've made our own butter before as a family, but haven't really tried much else. It would be fun to give cheese making a go!
ReplyDeleteI tried making mozerella, but failed miserably. I am going to try again. I would love a cow and a goat for milk. Ah, a girl can dream...
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn how to make my own dairy products. Last year I was diagnosed with cancer so I had to change my diet. I feel like I am going back in time and that I am living in the wrong era because I need to eat dairy products from raw milk. While I found a local farmer who will provide me with raw milk, I would like to make my own ice cream, yogurt, butter, etc. from it. This book sounds fantastic! I look forward to reading it. Thanks for the opportunity to try to win it!
ReplyDeleteI've made yogurt a few times but I'd like to do so more regularly, as well as get into cheese making. Though I haven't been able to locate a good local source of raw cow's milk, I did just hear about a goat dairy that sells raw milk from the farm...
ReplyDeleteI would love to enter and would be so blessed to win! The book would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteMy family and I live on a small family farm and currently milk a Jersey cow and 7 goats, yielding about 12-14 gallons of milk per day...we make butter from the cow, yogurt, ice cream, kefir, and mozzarella cheese but I would love to learn more and expand my knowledge in the area:)
Thank you!!

Okay, there's a book I could seriously use! We're on the verge of adding dairy goats OR a family cow to our little homestead. I've been dreaming of homemade butter, cheese, and yogurt! Alas, I have no idea where to start... I would love to own that book!
ReplyDeleteWe make kefir daily! We love strawberry kefir smoothies for breakfast. :) We make homemade icecream occasionaly and we have made butter in a mason jar. Thanks for the giveaway!

I have tried to make yogurt before, but I failed miserably. I would love to try again.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to make my own dairy products for some time, but after my yogurt failure I've been hesitant.
This book would give me the confidence to go for it again.
Please include me in your giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI have just made homemade butter, I wrote about it in my blog. would love to learn how to make cheese.
I came across the chickens book at TSC the other day and thought it was put together very well. I'd love this one for when I pick back up with my dairy experiments this summer.
ReplyDeleteI will be getting some dairy goats this fall and really want to learn how to make my own dairy products. Winning this book will give me a chance to practice before I get my goats. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteWe, too, are learning all about cultured dairy and have been doing yogurt, kefir, butter, sour cream, buttermilk, and soft cheeses...We're hooked!
I would love to read this with more cheese recipes and learn about her style.
Thanks
We have a family cow so we have lots of raw milk to use up :) I have made butter, yogurt, kefir, cream cheese, and for the first time mozzarella. My cheese for some reason has a bitter taste to it. This book would be nice to have to refer to.
ReplyDeleteI make mozzarella cheese at home on a regular basis. Since I don't own dairy animals, the main challenge is finding milk that hasn't been ultra-pasteurized. The cheesemaking is easy and fun.
ReplyDeleteRight now I make yogurt, but I'd love to expand my abilities...I hear ricotta is easy, but I'd love a little extra guidance.
ReplyDeleteWonderful giveaway-thanks for the chance. I make yogurt, buttermilk, cheddar and mozzarella so far but would love to try more.
ReplyDeleteEntered the giveaway here~linked through facebook and my first comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
I have tried making butter and yogurt, but I would like to expand with many other dairy products. We love cheese of all kinds. And to make it ourselves would be great.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway.

I would love to learn to make dairy products, especially body care and ice cream! So many things we buy in the store today have terrible chemicals in them.
ReplyDeleteI currently make my own yogurt at home, have for years and I love the way it tastes. I would love how to make more dairy products especially cheese.
ReplyDeletechardellc at yahoo dot com.
What a beautiful looking book! My husband and I have been praying for a farm for a few years. . .it seems that things are starting to move, so we are reading up on all we'd love to do. Having a gentle dairy cow is at the top of our list! We would LOVE to be able to give our 4 sons raw milk. Thanks for the opportunity with this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm the mother of 2 1/2 year old twins. We plan to have more kids and plan to homeschool. I would really like for us to "get back to our roots" and learn how to do things the "hard" way - instead of just going to the store and buying what we need. This book would be a great addition to that! I currently do not make any dairy products at home...although when I was a kid, I churned butter. It was a long, drawn out, FUN process!!!

I do not make any dairy products at home yet, last year I was very interested in making my own yogurt and got supplies to make some, but didn't trust my skill level. I would also love to try making butter and simple soft cheeses. This book looks beautiful and looks like it would inspire more confidence in working with dairy. Great giveaway, Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't make anything dairy at home yet...but have read up on it and WILL DO IT someday! Especially if I win this wonderful book!!
ReplyDeleteI love making queso fresco (fresh cheese) at home. I learned how from a local dairy farmer when I was living as a missionary in Guatemala several years ago. I've never tried any harder or aged cheeses or yogurt but I'm keen to learn! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this would be an awesome opportunity for us! In about 2 months we will be getting both a dairy cow and some dairy goats! They will already be giving milk so this would be excellent as we plan on making cheeses! :-)

I do make cheese. Actually this morning was my 1st morning of 2011 to milk my goats. (only 1 in milk right now, more next month) and I got a very generous 3 quarts for the morning milking. Of course right away I put some kefir grains in a quart of raw milk to get that going. Then I made a huge mocha latte! I love to make feta, chevre, and icecream. I also make yogurt, cheddar and experiment with other recipes when I have plenty of milk.

I have 3 cows that are fresh right now, and I milk them by hand twice a day, although their calves do help me out with that chore. I have way more milk than I know what to do with, and cheese is my favorite thing, so I can't wait to learn how to make all different kinds of it. I am currently taking Wardeh's eCourse on cultured dairy, and have made clabbered milk & cheese, have kefir started and am culturing some buttermilk and sour cream as we speak. Before starting this class, I also started making my own yogurt in a crockpot and have also made quite a bit of butter that I have in my freezer. It's a lot of work, but so rewarding!
ReplyDeleteLaRee from Nebraska.
I don't make any of our own dairy products right now, but I want to so badly! I think I'd start with butter. I mean, we made it in elementary school with milk and a jar, how hard can it be, right?!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, great giveaway! I don't do milk products yet, but it is in my future plans.
ReplyDeleteWe have a house cow who gives soooo much milk, (aprox 12 to 15 litres a day). She is currently in calf so I have had a bit of a break. I make home made cheese, yoghurt, butter , icecream,sour cream and buttermilk. You certainly can't beat that rich creamy taste.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn to make my own dairy because I have a husband, 3 boys and another on the way that all LOVE yogurt and cheese. We live on 70 acres and plan on getting a couple of cows in January after my husband graduates from college. No blog, my email is alisha@cumbytel.com

First off, I love reading your blog! Thank you. I have made butter a few times, but have always wanted to try making hard cheese and yogurt, A friend of ours makes cheese and it just tastes so much better than the processed kind at the grocery, well everything homemade does really :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Much,

I haven't made any dairy products yet but am getting ready to try yogurt. This book would be a big help.
ReplyDeleteI used to make my own yogurt, but I've gotten out of practice. I have two yogurt makers so I'm looking forward to trying again.
ReplyDeleteWe have tried butter and yogurt from raw milk that we get from a local farmer, but we couldn't seem to get it right. We've been talking about getting a cow or goat of our own this year and I would love to try again! I'd also LOVE to try cheese, but right now it feels too intimidating!

I am drinking it (YUM!) and hoping to do a quick batch of goat cheese tonight, but would love more ideas on how to do it all! We found a 1940's standing cream extractor of our new (90YO) farmhouse and have been working on how to put it together and use it! So much fun!

Being as we have dairy goats and a jersey cow, we need to learn how to do more with our milk. We've made yogurt, kefir, clabber, butter, buttermilk, and vinegar cheese. We took a cheese class with a professor for the one college that has diary goats and does dairy goat research. But it was rather technical and we need some real life culturing and cheese making input. I'm lacking confidence in this area, I guess and need some reinforcing so we can get in further than our toes. I'd love to learn from someone who makes cheese at home rather than in a laboratory ; )

You are a true inspiration to others and a blessing to those of us who are trying to learn more about returning to or establishing our own homestead type of lifestyle. The fact that you are a follower of my Lord Jesus Christ makes this blog and the community I am finding here a huge blessing to me! Living in a rural area in Utah, i don't have a lot of Christian fellowship close by.

I really want to start making cheeses myself especially the softer white cheeses, well maybe the sharp cheeses that hubby and I enjoy nibbling on in the evenings. Okay basically any cheese would be great :) Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWe've been drinking raw milk for a few years now but I just started making yogurt and yogurt cheese in the last six months. I made butter once. I would love to learn to make kefir and various cheeses. What a great give-away!
ReplyDeleteAmy,
ReplyDeleteSince securing a source of raw milk, I have begun experimenting with dairy adventures in my kitchen. I do make yogurt, buttermilk and sour cream pretty regularly and have made butter a few times without any great success so this book would be a definite asset to my continued pursuits and adventures!! Thanks for the opportunity ;-)
This book would be a great blessing as we get raw milk from a friend and I have made several things like butter, whipped cream, cream cheese and would love to learn more of all you can do with raw milk. I have not had success with the yogurt yet, hopefully this book would help.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great giveaway.

I've tried my hand at yogurt, cream cheese and kefir but my favorite, and one that I do routinely is cultured buttermilk!

With our first 4 goats all set to kid in the month of april, my Christmas gift from my family was a Ricki's Cheese Making Kit - Ricota and Mozzerella. My first batch of moz was spectacular so for my sisters birthday in January, I attempted to wow them with my new found skill.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a gallon of milk from the organic dairy farmer up the road, headed to my sisters house and we all made it together, and that is what I blame on the slimy mess we made. Yep, one gallon of milk turned in to about a half a cup of a substance that resembled Elmers glue. We threw in some dried basil, put it on a cracker with balsalmic vinegar and feasted- didn't look pretty but since it was ours, it still tasted good.
Thanks for the giveaway!
yes, i love to make yogurt and have experimented with making goat cheese and of course butter. i am lucky in that we can buy raw milk from our local coop. i love it! the book looks wonderful, thanks for the give away.
ReplyDeleteI have made butter and yogurt, but want to learn how to make cheese. This book looks like a good one.
