Cheesemaking: Whether you go bonkers for Brie or silly for Stilton, you'll be saying cheese to this exciting book.
Anyone with a love of the yellow (and blue) stuff or looking to become more self-sufficient will find lots to savour in this quirkily illustrated guide, which shows you how you can make delicious cheeses at home. It covers everything you need to know, including:
• essential tools of the trade
• basic and more complex recipes
• suggested uses for the finished cheeses
• setting up a small cheese business.
No scientific training, advanced cooking skills or expensive specialist equipment is necessary, just a little care and attention ... and maybe a drop of wine to accompany your cheese.

Preserving is a great way to turn home-grown or excess fruit and vegies into treats that can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
Covering everything from pickles and chutneys to jams and jellies, Carol Wilson's Preserving offers clear explanations on all areas of the preserving process, with hints on ingredients, techniques and storage. There are also 60 yummy recipes, like Spiced Pickled Pears.
