first post!


I'm wishing I had started a cheese blog sooner, but I guess now is better than never.

I've been making cheese at home for about a year now. This blog will be primarily to document recipes, my progress, and tastings.

The name for the blog comes from my new daughter, who was named after the delphinium flower. The "co." part is a hint at my intention to someday turn this hobby into a source of income.

Up until now, I've used recipes from Fankhauser's Cheese Page and Fias Co. Farms with great results, but I just got a copy of Ricki Carroll's book Home Cheese Making which has 75 recipes in it. I'm pretty excited to try my hand at some new varieties, all of which will be documented here.

Thanks for reading!
