Cheese making at home with Gavin Webber the Cheeseman

Cheese Making Culture Is Alive and Strong

By 2 Comments

To me, it feels like interest cheese making is now the same as home brewing was 20 years ago.  I believe that cheese making culture is alive and strong (pardon the pun).  There is active cheese making communities within so many Facebook groups, Forums, this blog, and on YouTube.

A Hit With The Younger Generation

So imagine my surprise when I discovered this article written about me and my cheese making channel on vice.com!

Besides being compared to the late, great Bob Ross (which is flattering in itself), apparently my cheese making tutorials are now a hit with the younger crowd.  However, it’s not for the reason you would think.

People are using them to relax and wind down after a hard night on the town or to help them relax before bed.  Go figure!  I knew I have a deep voice but didn’t realise that it had that effect on people.

Personally, I don’t mind what people use the videos for, as long as they get some benefit from them.  I’m just trying to spread the message that making cheese is easy to accomplish in your own kitchen with a few simple pieces of equipment and supplies.

Live Q&A

Don’t forget that you can join me live each Wednesday morning at 8 am Australian Eastern time GMT+10 for a live Q&A show called Ask the Cheeseman.  This live show hasn’t replaced the not-so-regular podcast, which I am planning revive in the next few weeks.  There are many voice mail questions that are so interesting, it would be a crime not to answer them all!

LGC064 – Is Home Cheese Making Worth It?

By 1 Comment

During this episode, I reply to a statement that I often get on my YouTube channel that boils down to; is home cheese making worth it financially and does it contain chemicals and it would be quicker to go to the store and buy it?

I know what you’re thinking, but I replied anyway and broke down the statement into its three parts during this show.

LGC063 – Why Pasta Filata Cheese Stretches

By Leave a Comment

During this episode, I answer a question from St. Rain who wants to know why Pasta Filata cheese stretches?  They are intrigued that I didn’t use citric acid as I did in the quick mozzarella video to get the curd to stretch.
