George Clare, a main character in this BryonySeries chapter book, grew up in France where his parents were cheesemakers.

​

Here's an easy cheese recipe you can try at home.

​

Put one quart whole milk in a large pot with a heavy bottom.

​

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and then stir in 1/8 cup white vinegar

​

The mixture should immediately curdle. If not, add a little more vinegar.

​

Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the mixture into the cheese cloth.

​

Rinse with cool water and sprinkle with salt.

​

Gather the cloth around the curds and squeeze out the extra liquid.

​

Hang up to dry for one to two hours.

​

Remove cheesecloth, chop into pieces, and store for no more than one week in the refrigerator.
