This book is a gem. I wish I had a resource like this 30 years ago! Even if one is not thinking of becoming a dedicated cheese maker, there are plenty of suggestions such as what to do with too much left-over cream (make ghee/ clarified butter). How to make your own sour cream with a clabber stater culture - oh, so delicious! What makes this book such a gem is that Mrs. Jackson brought together so much knowledge about dairying, knowledge our ancestors knew and applied. She makes it easy and accessible without overcomplicating things. If this tickles your funny bone, I highly recommend it.
