IT WAS RICKI CARROLL who introduced me to the wonders of homemade mozzarella and ricotta. Because I’d like your taste buds to do a happy dance, too, I’ve purchased yet another one of her cheese-making kits to give away. Who’d like a chance to win it in a random drawing?
If you only know tasteless, rubbery mozzarella, and bland, gummy ricotta from the supermarket, get ready for a colossal treat. I can tell you from my own experience that these two cheeses, when made from scratch, offer incredible flavor and texture. Try making them once, and I suspect you’ll never buy their commercial counterparts again.
The kit I’m giving away contains enough rennet and citric acid to make 30 batches of cheese. It also contains a thermometer, and a large piece of butter-muslin. Butter muslin is used for draining the whey from ricotta. I use butter muslin for straining a number of cheeses, including the Greek-style yogurt I make almost every week.
For a chance to win the kit, do these two simple things:
1. Subscribe — if you haven’t already — to my weekly email newsletter.
2. In the comments field below, tell me what you are having for dinner tonight. Or, say anything you’d like. Even a simple “hello” will suffice.
I’d be ever so grateful if you clicked the “like” button, too.
The drawing expires on Friday, July 6, 2012, at 11:59PM. As always, I’ll use the little number-gadget at Random. org to select a winner. The winner will be notified by email.
Don’t miss anything at A Garden for the House…sign up for Kevin’s weekly newsletter.

Ah, making homemade mozzarella-i have to try it ! Yup, it’ll be another scorcher here in Millbrook (Hudson Valley) too, today. so dinner tonight, will definately be outside on the grill.
we’ll dine on grilled polish kielbasa, “imported” from Brooklyn (!), homemade baked beans made by yours truly, and fresh Hudson Valley corn on the cob.
And if that’s not enough smoked products for one night, we’ll nibble on a bit of chilled double-smoked wild turkey sausage as an appetizer, also made locally.
Michelle Anderson says
Making homemade cheese is on my list of things to start doing. Not sure why I haven’t taken the leap, yet. ;o)
I’ve purchased some other items from Ricki’s company. This kit looks wonderful!
As for dinner…not sure, yet. The only thing ready for picking in the garden is basil, lettuce, jalapeno and black currants. Maybe pasta with creamy basil sauce and salad. I’ll save those jalapenos for salsa when the tomatoes finally start coming in. ;o)
We’ll be trying our hand at making wine out of the black currants this year. Looking forward to the challenge of learning something new!
Happy Gardening!

Sister-in-law’s birthday tonight! Salad and taters from the garden (about the only thing that’s doing well in Colorado’s unseasonably hot weather), grilled homemade veggie patties and fresh chicken from a friend’s urban garden. Yummm! Oh, and we were going to have pie (cherries are in season in our neck of the woods), but we’re thinking popsicles instead because of the heat. 🙂

If a simple hello gets me into the draw, wocount me in. I love, love, love your newsletters TY. Just wanted to let you know we made gougeres the other day. They were so good that my four year old grand daughter and I ate one whole tray for lunch. Oink oink. Pssssssssst, try a dab of strawberry jam with them. Yes I know it sounds weird but the sweet with the salt and the cheese was delish.
Joanie says

I’ll be at my mom’s house with my daughter and my two grandchildren. I’m taking fresh veggies from my CSA share to make a stir fry for everyone.
My garden is a 4×8 raised bed in my housing co-op’s community garden. I have lovely kale growing and am just now seeing blossoms on my peas and beans. I also have some onions, a couple of brussels sprouts and a few other randoms, as well as a pumpkin that I rescued from in front of the compost bin. I’ve jammed in as much as I can in that limited space!
I love your newsletter, Kevin. I shared your garlic scapes pesto recipe with my CSA farmer and it will be available to all the members the next time we have scapes…with the link to your page, of course. 🙂
prairiecactus says
Chicken Jubilee…but I’m using some delicious fresh Bing cherries as the base for the sauce…thanks for another chance to win one of these cheese kits…..they are on my christmas list for many of my friends and family…I’ll buy the multiple offer as it offers just enough to cover the ones who will really enjoy the process of learning to make delisious homemade cheeses.
Jeanne Madrid says
We’re having delicious leftovers from last night: bbq’d tofu, steamed kale with vidalia onion, and boiled new potatoes with buttery sauce. A little home made cheese would go nicely with it on the side.

Have a safe and great 4th of July!
Robin says
It’s going to be bbq chicken & veggies tonight… too hot to cook in the house!
I’m always looking for projects to keep myself & grand kids busy when they visit. Cheese making sounds like fun and another opportunity to connect my grand kids to ‘where food comes from’ besides a package at the store!

We, my hubby and 4 kids, are going to the 4th of July parade, then to the bandshell to listen to some good music.

Mozzarella from the local grocer, fresh tomatoes and fresh basil from our garden. Sprinkle with olive oil and maybe a pinch of sea salt. Or a little balsamic vinegar. For some reason, it is just so refreshing. It would be so cool to be able to make my own cheese too!
Jen says
I grew roma tomatoes and fresh basil this year with the hopes of making my own fresh caprice salad and was planning on buying the rubbery flavorless motz to add to it from the grocery store. If I had this kit I would know the magic and lore of fresh mozzarella!

Dirtdauber says
Hi.. I haven’t decided what to have tonight. I will be canning tomatoes, squash, peas, peppers and plum preserves & jelly. Might be too tired to cook so left overs maybe what it is. This cheese would go good with what ever I pull out of the pantry.

Ravioli with spiced olive oil sauce, ground turkey, and garlic cheese toast. The olive oil has oregano, basil, and garlic in it. Very lite and tasty. The extra browned ground turkey tossed with the ravioli has oregano, basil and garlic as well. The kids love it and its a real hit here.

Ah! Yes !
A second chance at the Cheese Making Kit . What a wonderful Surpirse Rick, Thank You.
My husband works away from home all the time and has a whole 9 days off. We are both terribly pleased to have the time to spend together when we can.
He BBQ-ed hsi favorites last night, so I was thinking of a basic Indiana Sunday Dinner from my past. Meatloaf and Mashed Potatos !
Of course the Graden is bearing so much, after those 2 old stand-bys I will saute Zuccini w garlic & onion in butter along with a salad w/tomatos and cukes or just sliced tomatos and cucumber spears.
Tomarrow I want to make a homemade rattouille which a very interestingl Russian woman I met about 3 decades ago taught me therecipe of and use as a Vegetaterian Spaghettti Sauce. It is Delicious that way ! I have been patiently waiting for teh Eggplant and they are growing nicely.
Have to go out now and sprinkle a bit of Dicotamous Earth on the cukes-I have invaders boring into them ! Stinkers ! 🙂 We had a Tropical Storm that rains FEET, not inches and I’m suprised the garden survived at all !
Thanks again Rick for your Wonderful website and the opportunity to win the Cheese Making Kit. Hope everyone’s Sunday is a Happy One. 🙂

Not feeling well so may have soup for dinner. Last weekend I made

caprese salad with a fresh mozzarella, basil from my plant ,and campari
tomatoes with an olive oil and balsmaic reduction on the top. I had it in the
refrigerator laid out in a design on a white platter, When my 2 year old
grandaughter saw it she thought it was a birthday cake and wanted the
marshmallows (the balls of mozzarella). so we gave her her first taste of
fresh mozzarella and she liked it. LOL

Hi everyone!
My dinner will be “zucchagna” or my version of zucchini lasagna without the noodles!
Since my heirloom zucchini plants are splendorous and generous, I use the larger squashes to make my “zucchagna.” Basically, I mix an organic spaghetti portobello sauce with soft tofu, lots of garlic, and basil or fresh french tarragon from the garden. In the pirex, I place 2 layers of zucchini intercalated with layers of organic red onions and red peppers bake for 45 mins…and VOILA!!!
Feel welcome to make my “zucchagna” and recreate as your palate guides you!
I would LOVE to learn how to make MOZZARELLA and RICOTTA in the “Cheese Machine” to add to my CREATIONS!!!

Matthew says
Hey Kevin.
Tonight I am frying some green velvet okra from my garden. That’s about all I have coming in thanks to the July heat in South Texas. Maybe I’ll get a few more eggplants. To go with the okra, I’ll grill up some friend-made boudin. Perfect for a Sunday night.
Love your blog.

Having some sauteed greens from the garden — chopped lacinata and collards, along with daikon greens (we planted too late for roots — but the greens are amazing), and I’ll probably throw in some purslane, too. Love it sauteed with onion, and this time of year the garden is full of it!

Dinner Special at our house. . .Cracked wheat garden salad. From my garden this morning I picked tomatoes, cucumbers, a pepper, four beans, mint, cilantro, parsley, and chives. I’ll add some feta cheese, red onion, fresh garlic, carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, and radish pods (find of the week at my farmers market). Toss all with EVOO and lemon juice. Chill for an hour and a cool salad on a HOT (104 this afternoon) night will be served. P.S. Fresh mozzarella would have been nice to add to this.
Anita says
Marinating chicken in lime juice to cook and put on a salad for dinner. Also have a fresh berry vinegar made with my raspberries. Fresh cheese on the salad would be divine!
Cindy says
Hi Kevin,
Tonight we are having a great salad with our garden lettuces…
Trudy Rangel says
my mouth is so watering after reading all the above comments that it changed my mind. It’s not too hot to eat-even if the sweat is dripping off my eyebrows.
So here’s my most delicious bite of the day: Companion roll (original pretzel)–sliced lengthwise-olive oil drizzled top & bottom- add to skillet ; Add toppings-garlic butter spread on both pieces (the white side)-sprinkle with fresh dill, a little basil, layer: pepper jack , colby, swiss, an ULTRA THIN slice of MAYROSE HOT HEAD CHEESE, another piece of colby jack on each half, spread fresh horseradish on last piece of cheese, then spriinkle onion and garlic chips, low heat til bread is warmed thru and cheese is starting to soften (don’t melt-too messy) A couple of sprouts or spinach leaves in the center. Lions, and tigers and bears OH MY!
Lori Kensler says
We’ve been having powerful storms and wide spread power outages since Friday night in central Ohio. Tonight’s dinner will be at the closest open restaurant along which ever road has been cleared of fallen trees in our community.

Hi Kevin, I have been reading your blog for some time now and enjoy it so much. I have been wanting to learn to make cheese for some time now but seem a bit imtimidated by the process. Winning this kit may give me the nerve to give it a go.
Thanks

EGG SALAD
Emily Lund says
creamed toast and egg- yum!
Glennis Bowser says
I commented in your garlic scapes pesto column about what we had last night. I don’t know if I would qualify for this because I live in Canada. Anyway, tonight we had caribou steak, provided by a friend whose son lives in Northern Quebec, where you can get caribou at your local store. My husband grilled it. He also did fresh mushrooms (2 days old from a local mushroom grower) onions and our own garlic on the grill.. I cooked lambs quarters with pepper grass, and roasted potatoes. We do love cheese, but I have never made my own.
Gwen says
Hi from “Down Under” even though I’m on the other side of the world and
your seasons are different to ours – I still enjoy your weekly newsletters always enjoy your receipes and find your hints very helpful for our garden.
Dinner tonight hot vegie soup and a hearty stew – To WARM us up over here.
Thanks so much.
Regards Gwen
Ngoc says
Dinner was a huge bowl of pho ga that my sis in law made, a chicken noodle soup flavored with anise, Vietnamese cinnamon, ginger, onion and plenty of spices. I topped my bowl with bean sprouts, Vietnamese coriander, Thai basil, cilantro, Sriracha, Hoisin Sauce, and a lime slice; an explosion of flavors!
So now I’m reveling in a food coma and listening to some very wonderful music by Dan Gibson. You should check him out if you like naturescapes/relaxing music!
Deb Haack says
Hi Kevin,
Spending the day in the swimming pool. It is 100+ ° outside. So dinner is Chili hand pies with all the toppings. Iced Pimm’s Cup for our refreshment.

Shrimp salad, corn on the cob, and blueberry muffins made with blueberries from our garden. Our tomatoes are starting to ripen, so mozzarella cheese, tomato, and avocado sandwiches are just around the corner. Thanks again for your blog!

I am so happy I found your website! I love your recipes and have made your garlic scape pesto. It’s so delish! I am have spinach stuffed shells for dinner tonight with a bit of the pesto in it. Yum!
Sandy says
I think we will be grilling tonight – the heatwave here in southeastern PA will make it too hot to be using the kitchen!
Brandon says
Dinner huh? I didn’t look at the menu during lunch, but if the lunch menu was any indication – and it usually is – I’d say that we are having turkey cutlets again with taco meat refreshed as sheppard’s pie or taco pie. Dinner at the DFAC is usually lunch reserved with a twist. Who knows, we might get lucky and get some greasy lamb curry. I miss my garden this year since I have been out in the dessert. I have really enjoyed your newsletter and site. Keep up the good work!
Susie says
Oh how wonderfully home made cheese would go with tonight’s dinner of salad from the garden, along with pasta tossed in garlic and olive oil with home grown herbs, and a few local farmer’s market diced tomatoes….home made sour dough boule…. mmmm yummy! It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Simple, tasty, and so good.
Jeannette Olton says
I love your newsletter!
Sherri says
I love you newsletter. And would love this kit. I just took a class on cheesemaking and would love to be able to make my own cheese. I’m learning to live a healthier life and don’t want all of the preservatives in my food. And would use this kit to help with that. Plus I love cheese.
cathy says
Crusty French bread,manchego,olives and wine.
Janice says
We are having a delicious homemade vegetable soup my daughter started yesterday. We’ll add a loaf of crusty fresh baked bread – but wouldn’t some homemade cheese make it all perfect! It absolutely would.
elidet says
We are having chicken salad wraps!
CarolinLesotho says
As Peace Corps Volunteers in Lesotho, we almost never have access to real cheese, and we really miss it! I’ve been curdling boxed (UHT) milk with lemon juice and running it through cheese cloth. I used that to make a Margherita-like pizza. Our favorite was mixing in garlic powder, and fresh cracked pepper to make a dip for home-made whole-wheat rosemary crackers… yummm! I love still eating well despite some of the challenges we face with food availability.
Lisa Harris says
We will have a fritata for dinner. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the contest.

Thank you for all the interesting info and tips in your newsletters! As for dinner, it isn’t an hour before dinner yet, so I’ve no idea what I’ll be serving! 😉 I’ve never made cheese before and only eaten store bought mozzarella and ricotta. I wonder if this would be a good summer experiment for my 9 y/o son and I? Cheers!
Rosemarie Carvalho says
My sister and I took an Italian cheesemaking class yesterday and I just finished making your garlic scape pesto. I’m going to grill some pizza and then top it with the pesto, tomatoes, corn and fresh mozarella. My mouth is already watering.

tvalente says
I bought fresh basil, watermelon, feta, tomatoes and buffalo mozzerella. I am going to search online for the watermelon feta salad, make a caprese salad and grill chicken breasts, marinated in a fresh greek dressing. I need to start making those lovely recipes, I’ve been pinning. Thank you for keeping up such a nice blog.
Holly says
We’re having grilled chicken thighs with a corn/mango relish and negros y cristianos. mmmmm!
JD says
Considering we just got our electricity back on from Friday’s night’s storms in N. VA, we’ll probably be eating jarred sauce spaghetti and canned green beans. Any contents in the fridge have been discarded but with the blessed AC back on, it doesn’t seem so bad.
sue greene says
I’m in the Pacific Northwest, half a mile from the ocean, where the extremes of summer heat and winter cold which most of the country experiences are but a rumor. We’re lucky if it gets up to 62 degrees in the middle of summer, and outdoor grilling attire usually requires a down jacket. We have a saying here…Fall – cool and rainy. Winter – cool and rainy. Spring- cool and rainy. Summer- that’s the day we play baseball.
I’ve been a vegetarian for 38 years, and am in the habit of keeping a few batches of legumes and grains soaked and sprouted throughout the week so that meals are easily put together with minimal cooking time. Dinner tonight will be an old stand-by…… homemade vegetarian split pea soup; some of the summer squash look ready so I’ll probably pick one, slice it up, and throw it in the soup for the last 2 minutes for texture and flavor. I like a little feta cheese on top for a bit of a kick. On the side – tofu marinated in a spicy mix of salsa and low sodium soy sauce before grilling. It’s a nice contrast of textures, colors, and flavors, very high protein, high fiber, and low calorie.
Kay says
Hi Kevin,
I would be soooo happy if I won this kit! Tonight we’re having crab stuffed venison tenderloin, roasted beets with sauteed beet greens, and twice baked potatoes. Gotta love my fiance for grilling in 105 degree St. Louis!
Thanks for all of your inspiration and guidance,
Kay
Jeanette says
Looks like a pizza on the grill night at our house. Temps in the upper 90’s and no rain in sight here in Southern Wisconsin. We love to use a whole wheat olive oil dough for the crust and whatever is in the fridge to top it off. We have never used homemade cheese….bet it would be wonderful! Thanks for all of your inspiration…..great blog!
grace says
don’t have any dinner plans, but sure wish I was having some Caprese salad with freshly made mozzerella!

Michele J. says
Rib eye stake, baked potato with sour cream & cheese shreds, salad and possibly berry cobbler.
Chris says
We’re making homemade pizza on a Woodmaster Pellet Grill. Homemade mozzerella would be just the ticket for our pizzas. You can’t beat the flavor the wood pellets add to the pizza. It’s a family favorite!
Sher Branson says
I want this kit!!! I’ve been just dying to make the mozz cheese but haven’t gotten up the nerve to buy the ingredients/supplies. I’ve got fresh cow’s milk (raw) and it would be so awesome to win this.
Thanks for such a wonderful blog. From my eyes, you live in heaven.
Kate says
Since the fridge is overflowing with greens from the garden (and not much else yet) I think it will be a big salad for dinner!

Hi Kevin,
It’s Meatless Monday. Actually we do about a 5/2 ratio. Anyways, since I’m always picking up great info from your site I plan on checking out the Beet Greens recipe. I have plenty. I’m hoping I can harvest some while the beets continue to grow. Have a nice day.
Jill Spencer says
Im always SO excited to get my weekly newsletter – thanks, Kevin!
kathy kam says
Dinner will be “Ma Paw To Fu” Literally means Pock Faced lady’s Tofu. In olden days, most Chinese were illiterate. Coudln’t write or read. Only the privilleged, wealthy families could retain tutors for their children. So, people usually used a specific feature to identify others. Such as “Too Tall Jones”; “Four-Eyed Chan”; “No hair Lee”, etc. Today, this is totally politically incorrect. But it was not a practice for humiliating other. It was simply a tool of identification.
Anyway, this lady was a food vendor and she had the misfortune of having some unsightly pock marks on her face. Thus the monika. It was a good day and she sold out most of her food. There remained some tofu and a small amount of pork. She cooked these with soy sauce and condiments made of soy bean. She added a dash of hot chili pepper. The rest is history.
I will be using gound turkey instead of pork. May add some sea weed for some addtional trace mineral. YUM!
Victoria says
I am such a fan of your newsletter! Thank you for offering a giveaway. Dinner tonight is leftover pork-roast from Sunday’s dinner. But I have a goat that I milk every day and I have been wanting to try my first attempt at making cheese. If you have any recipes, instrctions or suggestions I would love them! Thank you!
Cathie Gottleb says
I fixed what I call kitchen sink black beans last night…a little left over hot sausage, a pepper and tomatoes from the garden, some left over chili in adobo, a limp carrot, etc. I maybe got a little carried away with the hot stuff…cuz it was hot hot….:-) Cheese and cilantro on top helped a little and hubby and I shared a beer…which helped more.
Deb Smith says
I love making my own ricotta but have never tried mozzarella – can’t wait…but in the meantime, I’m making grilled lamb kebabs with roasted veggies & quinoa.

Ah Kevin, it is now 4:24 p.m. and I have no clue what is for dinner! It’s been a really bad day 🙁 I would love to win this kit. I have tried and fallen in love with New England Cheese’s yogotherm and “sweet yogurt”. I would enjoy venturing into cheesemaking. I love Mozzarella.

I have been trying your recipes monthly now. (LOVED the lavender icing) So, this cheese making kit might be another pleasant adventure for me! 🙂
Dinner tonight: Leftovers……it’s too hot to do any “real” cooking!
Nancy Oden says
It’s pretty warm this evening so I’m going out to my organic gardens and pick some nice mixed lettuces and green Kale and mix in some raisins, garlic, tiny tomatoes, anchovies, and more olive oil and organic apple cider vinegar in a yummy salad for supper.
Donna Andrew says
Tonight my husband and I will be having homemade soup with homemade scones. Here’s hoping we can add some homemade cheese next time IF I win the kit, lol.
Cheers and thanks for the great newsletter.
Susan Boothe Baird says
It’s still hot outside so I will probably go home in a few minutes and stop at the store for whatever to fix…so actually I really don’t have a clue what I will have to eat tonight. It’s just me and sometimes I just have some mozzarella, tomatoes and some basil out of the garden then drizzle some olive oil and balsamic over everything a little sea salt and I’m a happy camper! No major cooking when it’s hot like this, and believe me Texas is warm enough right now so I’m ready to eat light and get ready for tomorrow! Love your newsletter, look forward to hearing from you. Have a wonderful week. my best
randy mitchell says
Bar-b-gue pork chops

I am eating a Blueberry Bar this very minute, your wonderful recipe from last week!! Your monthly garden chore list is so wonderful for me because it reminds me of so many things that I tend to forget and end up having to do last minute. With your thinking ahead skills you are a great help to my garden scheduling and allowing me to space out the chores instead of an end of month blitz. Thanks. 🙂

No power at my house in Silver Spring MD (since last Friday!) and the end is nowhere in sight. Camping out with friends and shared a meal of grilled steak, pasta tossed with olive oil and fresh basil, and fresh greens from the garden – and a bottle of Malbec. Took the edge off a long hot day!

Cameron Patrickson says
Well Good morning! I just received an email from my Mom in law to subscribe to your blog. I have not looked over you too much however, I couldn’t miss the cheese kit give away, which really does sound appealing. : ) Which is probably why she asked me to subscribe,lol.
I am a cheese making newbie. Quite interested in the whole process but lacking the time as I have 5 young kids. I have made cheese with lemon juice twice, but just recently found a place to buy rennet in my area, so I have purchased some to use. I did try making mozzarella one time but it turned into an unusual blob. The kids likes it though!
Anyway, today , for dinner, I am having Salmon fillets with green sauce, sliced beans and carrots steamed, and a toss up between quinoa or whole wheat noodles in garlic and oil. Mmmmm mmm!! I already have the salmon defrosting and the beans in the pot ready to go for this evening. Hope your dinner is as good as mine!
Have a good day.

Your site is amazing-hints, recipes, tons of photos-love it.
I think I read on this site about using potassium salts of fatty acid 1 part to 100 parts water to take card of insects and their eggs and powdery mildew. The potassium was suppose to be availabe at a pharmacy, but around here they haven’t heard of it. How can I find it?

I am being treated to dinner at an Italian Restaurant. After the storm Friday night here on the east coast, my power was restored on Sunday morning, but my son still didn’t have power so I lent him our generator. He got his power back last night and decided to take me out to dinner as a token of gratitude for the generator.
