    This show reminded me our Goats that I cared. My mother made old days Cheese, fresh cheese, and ricotta. We did not use vinegar to make the cheese, we used different ingredients. It was long time go, in Italy. I will read the book to compare the experiences.

    Thank you for the show Leonard Lopate.
