Cheese Monkey Making Kit - make 30 different Artisan s Basket

Bought this for my other half for surprise Christmas gift after he mentioned wanting a go at making cheese. Well packaged, lovely gift at a reasonable price. Instructions are clear, simple and easy to follow. We have only made roule to start off with but was a huge (and I mean literally HUGE) success. We now have 620g roule rather than the expected 350g! (And it tastes good) Wish we had made it before Christmas so we could have given some away as a little extra present for friends and family. If the rest of the recipes go half as well, we will be very happy! Would have liked to see more recipes for harder cheeses included although these are obviously more difficult and not the best to start with, for novices such as ourselves. On the whole, wouldn't hesitate to recommend this kit!

This is such a great product, beautifully packaged and contains a great recipe book. The instructions are great and easy to follow my first recipe was a garlic and pepper roule cheese. It turned out perfect. There are so many cheeses you can make in the recipe book even cottage cheese and goats cheese. It’s fun to do and not difficult at all. This would make a perfect present. It’s one of the best kits I have ever bought and can’t wait to make some of the other cheeses - the only thing you need is milk Pictures are from my first recipe

This is a good starter kit for anyone looking to dip their toe in the cheese making world. Super easy instructions in realistic quantities designed for homemade cheese. The only reason for 4 & not 5 star relates to the cheese types. The book gives a recipe for Ricotta and Greek salad cheese however, they are more stylised. Once you youtube the recipes you'll soon realise but hay, if your just starting who cares.

Received the kit and found it to be a little smaller than expected, though this isn't an issue as there are plenty of well packed items inside. I started off making the Cheshire cheese as it is one of my favourites and the recipe was relatively easy to follow. I would have liked a little youtube video to demonstrate the basics, but I muddled through ok. The recipe gave me a delightlyfully rich soft cheese that would benefit from a little aging next time I try it. This would be a great gift for someone interested in making their own cheese but didn't have the tools to do it.

We have just made our first cheese, a crumbly Cheshire, which has turned out great. There was everything you needed in the kit, (obviously not the milk, yoghurt or cream). The instructions were very easy to follow. Looking forward to making other cheeses from the book. Jane from their customer service is also fantastic at replying to e-mails. Overall really happy with the purchase and company.
