Good one Uni, ricotta uses up a lot of milk.

Can you make bechamel, cheese sauce etc & freeze?

six eggs per day. Crepes with ricotta and spinach sounds great.

I"ve just had a look and it is the same recipe. I will try making it without the cream if thats the way you do it. Everything you make looks really great.

Hi jundj
Just made my first batch, tastes great. Will make up the rest of the milk now.
When I had a good look at the bottles they had about 1/4 of cream on top so just tried the first lot without adding cream.
I guess if you get good milk you don't need the cream added.
This milk came from Jersey cows.
