CHEESEMAKING: HOW TO MAKE CREAM CHEESE: Simple and Gourmet Cream-Cheese-Inspired Recipes Paired with Wine

There's absolutely no comparison between supermarket pre-made cream cheese and homemade cream cheese. They are a world apart. And once you start making this super-simple cheese, you'll never purchase a pre-made brick or tub again! Homemade cream cheese is rich, creamy and extravagant, even when it's made from milk instead of cream. Homemade cream cheese can be made from milk (like French Neufchatel) or from whipping cream (like Mascarpone), from 18% cream (hence its name) and from the milk of cows, sheep, and goats milk. By substituting homemade cream cheese into your favourite recipes, you can transform the dishes into gourmet affairs of the heart. Your guests will rave about your new creations. But be careful...if you tell them you made the cheese yourself and you tell them how easy it is to make cream cheese, you'll be either trafficking in cheese cultures or be making it for all your friends. I certainly have!

In this book you'll discover how to prepare cream-cheese-inspired simple and gourmet dishes and how to harmonize this dishes with their most suitable wines.
