While I want all “discussion” to occur here, I’d like to see people publish successful recipes (have made it 3 or 4 times with success), as well as proven tips & techniques, definitions for terminology, articles on Ingredients, and anything else that is not speculation or conjecture or anecdotal.
If you have not visited, please do. If you are comfortable, contribute—remember, on a wiki site, members can modify your posts to improve them, etc.
Have now , the movie clips you did were great< i got some tips that were very useful, I think I have been leaving my curds too big.. I will try using a whisk next week, well done Rick good site
At the wiki site home page, type the name of the recipe as you want it to appear on the site in the “Create or Find Page:” box. Then click “Go”. If a recipe with that exact name already exists, you are taken to it where you can edit it. If not, it will be created. If it is new, you will be prompted to click on “Edit” to open up the new article. Once you do that, make the first line look like:
[[Category:Recipes]]
Then type your recipe. If, in the recipe you want to reference another article, simply put the title of that article within [[...]] brackets. If the article by that name exists (like [[CaCl]], for example) a link to that article will be created. If not, then a new, blank article will be created that you or someone else can edit later.
The other categories that I’ve got are: Ingredients, Techniques and Terminology, Tools & Equipment, and Troubleshooting, so you can create new articles and assign them to those categories too.

I have certainly had a good look at the Wiki site, its very handy having a one stop shop for information on the whole cheese making process. Well done and keep it up.
Im new here and I have been looking at his Forum for a few weeks now to get as much information as possible on making cheese, thanks to you all for all those great posts, it has been a huge help.
I made my first cheese a couple of weeks ago (Haloumi) and I have to say it came out remarkably well (suprised really). It seemed it was one of the easiest cheeses to make and Im a bit partial to the fried Haloumi.
Took a good look tonight, and there’s some helpful info there, but desperately in need of more. Us newbies are going to have to rely on you veterans in that respect.
Are we allowed to post recipes that we’ve used from books, or are there copyright/legal issues? Would it be okay if we just credit the source of the recipe?
There probably are copyright issues in a verbatim recipe. I find that many of my recipes are from a book, but that I’ve modified them slightly and often call out a specific brand of milk, etc. I say let’s publish them, be sure to give full acknowledgement of the source, and if you can add to them with more detailed instructions, optional steps, specific ingredients, etc. that would add a lot of value to the base recipe.
If a point form is used as to the steps u used i dont thingk its a issue, if u copy the text used then it is. May be nice do add “used so and so for reference”
Good ideas, slight modification on wording without changing the recipe should be all that it takes. I mean that recipes have been around since the middle ages, and I don’t know who really owns them. Whoever made the 1st cheddar I suppose, and he or she is probably dead by now.
Nabil, thanks for the entry. Looks simple, I’ll have to try it.
I added a Category tag to make it appear under “Recipes” and made the degree symbol ° look right. I think I might add English temperatures and measurements, too.
Adding the recipe to the wiki is a great contribution to the community, thanks.
