Cheese

[msaaa3]

Hi, In your meal planner there are lots of references to “brick cheese” and “raw milk hard” cheese. I am a little confused as to what these mean in terms of English cheese’s. I would normally buy a hard mature chedder or cheshire, are these the same as either of those mentioned above?? Also all your measurements are in cup sizes, would you be able to convert a cup into pounds or ounzes please and then I can work out half cup/quarter cup etc.

Thanks
Sam

Hi, Sam. Raw milk cheese would just be from milk that has not been pasteurized or homogenized. You can also just use farm-fresh or organic cheeses, which are generally healthier than the usual store-bought cheeses (especially the processed types). Cheshire cheese is not always raw, but since production is rather specialized, it is not considered overly processed, and so is a good choice.
We are definitely working on converting measurements to include metric. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of UK members joining, and are endeavoring to make the program as user-friendly as possible for everyone. The shopping lists and recipes are more advanced in that regard.
