Has anyone seen one of those cheese straining cloths in the shops and if so where? Having watched Indian Food Made Easy (and made the chicken kebabs successfully) - I thought I might have a go at the cheese.
Has anyone any experience in, or recipes for cheese making?

Ive use Ascott sometimes although there are a few sites selling cheese cloth if that's what you are looking for. Not sure about the shops never looked.

I've made a few different cheeses. I found soft cheese easy to make, hard cheeses are a little more fiddly and time consuming and having to wait while they mature!
Brilliant - what an interesting website.

I've always fancied trying to make paneer, but as I have an allergy to lactose its not really on the cards (but as I say have always been tempted...). I've had fresh paneer in the past and it is sooo delicious, completely and totally different from shop bought/mass produced paneers, its soft and crumbly and takes flavours really well.
Let me know how you get on

For the lactose intolerant the lactose is in the whey so making a hard cheese eliminates a high proportion of the substance.
There is an enzime which is added to milk to predigest lactose and the product is available under the trade name of lactolite. I have no idea if it can be used in cheese making though.
Thanks for the info - I'll have a search around for info on that
