Home Creamery Event Giveaway: Guess Her Favorite Cheese




It's finally time for the second of three Home Creamery Book Giveaway Contests, and this month, Miz. Dot Joo (on right) is the star. Storey publishing has donated three of Kathy Farrell-Kingsley's books, The Home Creamery, in honor of Vin de la Table's monthly event, and we're going to send one of the books off to the lucky event participant who is able to correctly guess Miz Joo's favorite cheese. There are five given possiblities. It's a good time to mention that although the event is based upon Farrell-Kingsley's publication because of its ease and friendly nature, no one will be turned away from participating in this event for lack of this book. Any recipe is fine. As long as one makes the monthly dairy love product, they are invited to play.

Following the five cheese guesses are the contest rules, the main event guidelines are included at the end of this post, and have fun guessing the cheese! Please leave a comment at the end of this post with your cheese of choice guess by this Sunday night, Feb 15th, 12pm Oakland time. Thanks!


Is Miz Joo's favorite cheese:
Livarot
Vella Dry Jack
Roquefort
Garrotxa
Hook's Cheddar

Home Creamery Event Guidelines: (for the end of the month)
1) Make the dairy product of the month at home.
2) Either sip your dairy product to a wine or suggest a wine you think you might enjoy sipping with your milk creation in a raw or transformed state (i.e the cheese itself or a cheesecake). Also, I'll forgive you if you don't want to pair your goodness with wine, and just want to make join in on the dairy love.

My guess is Garrotxa.
You'll tell us which cheese we make this month after the guessing deadline?

Simona- I'm completely open to dairy making suggestion.

Simona Carini said...

How about buttermilk?

Kirstin said...

Simona- You and I are owning the comments! I'm down for buttermilk. Buttermilk itself or buttermilk pot cheese?

Simona Carini said...

How about we make buttermilk and possibly (though not necessarily) use it to make a cheese with it?
