There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Unless your foot is dirty. That's how you make "stinky foot" cheese (parmesan). /s
Start with homemade ricotta and labneh, both use common ingredients and very simple methods. From there try creme fraiche. This is a good time to check out the New England Cheesemaking Supply Co. Creme fraiche can be made without a culture but it's way tastier if you use one. And from there you'll be ready to take on tougher cheeses and they are an amazing resource to help you through.
This guy on YouTube has some great videos on how to make a few different styles of cheese.
There's cheese making kits available, maybe start there.
We started with a mad millie kit on a whim. You get a lot of equipment you'll keep using as your level up
