I tried another batch with the grated ginger, wow what a taste. i tested it on 10 work mates and everyone loved it. i have another batch fermenting now.

Hi Craig, Yeah mine went a bit hard too, it was a bit like mozarella cheese, I could even sort of peel it in the same way. Hi helsbells, yes thats exactly what i got. i did squeeze it rather a lot though :oops: . I would love to know how the dairylee style cheese spread is made. i love that stuff .

i tried the 'Accidental' cheese thing and its not bad. i may of squeezed a little too much liquid out but when i added a bit of salt and chopped chives its pretty impressive although a bit crumbly. Gonna test it on some victims , sorry i mean willing participants.

oooh like the idea of using dandelion for coffee, do you just steep it once it's been roasted & ground? I have far too many dandelions (or lion flowers as my 3 year old likes to call them) I'd love to put them to good use. I'd have loved to find some burdock to go with them but I've not been ab...

Jack by the hedge is on its way out now but elderfowers are just showing. plenty of nettles as usual and dandelions. i have a gallon of hawthorn blossom wine on the go now, smells lovely. I am going to have a go at roasting dandelion roots that i have dug out of my garden because i read they taste v...

hi, this sounds really good, i don't suppose some one has the recipe for the white bread. i am really eager to have a go at this

I am going to have a go at making one hard cheese and a soft cheese while i have a week of work, only trouble is i don't really know how. I have read that nettle juice can be used as a rennet substitute for a vegetarian hard cheese but not sure how to make the cheese in the first place. Over the nex...
