Cheese making is a pretty complex process. There's recipes here for ricotta, cream cheese and the EDC has a mascarpone recipe, what particular cheese would you like to make?

I just want to try a firm cheese in a mold.  Not sure of names.

Yep, Cheeselinks is your best bet. I did a course through them and made Camembert, Quarg and Ricotta. Brilliant!

I recently did a course with The Cheesemaker  in Padbury WA.  Was a lovely day and we made wonderful cheese.  I am enjoying my first batch of feta at the moment - and its just like the bought stuff!   Let me know if you would like any more information.

One of the most important things in making cheese is the preparation - that is, getting all the equipment together and making sure you have absolutely everything you need before you begin.

You need a cheese "press" and if you have a handy husband, these can be made as the ready-made ones are fairly expensive.
A homemade one can be seen here,  and here's a different type cheese press.

If you have never made cheese of this type, it is wise to attend a workshop and Cheeselinks  is a good place to start.
