Milk to cheese, step by step
Making cheese is not hard. What is hard is knowing when to cut the curd, how much
rennet six litres needs instead of two, and what to do when the rind turns
sticky. MyCheese answers those questions, while your hands are in the milk.
FIFTEEN RECIPES, FROM FRESH CHÈVRE TO A HARD WHEEL
Fresh chèvre, faisselle, yogurt, ricotta, mozzarella, halloumi, feta,
saint-marcellin, camembert, tomme, blue, a long-keeping wheel, aged crottins plain
and beer-washed. Each with its full
sequence, temperatures, timings, and what is happening in the milk at every step.
QUANTITIES FOLLOW YOUR VOLUME
Every dose is expressed per litre and recalculated when you change volume. Two
litres, six, fifteen: the shopping list updates, dosage limits are respected, and
each step reminds you what to add when.
CLEAN HANDS MODE
A full-screen walkthrough, 96-pixel buttons, a screen that stays awake, and the
next step one swipe away — or one word. The phone stays on the worktop; you
barely touch it.
TIMERS THAT DO NOT LET GO
They store the due time, not a countdown: close the app, turn off the screen,
restart the phone — the alert still goes off. A floating bar keeps them in sight
wherever you are in the app.
THE FLOCCULATION MULTIPLIER
The cheesemaker's method: measure the real flocculation time, multiply by the
family's factor, and get the cutting time for your milk — not the book's. The app
also tells you what the gap says about your rennet.
THE VARIANT LAB
Vegetable ash, herbs, flavoured brine, extended ageing. Proportions are
recalculated to preserve the curd's body, and the extra steps slot into the right
place in the sequence.
THE VIRTUAL CELLAR
Every cheese tracked day by day, with reminders to flip, brush, pierce and check
humidity — derived from your own log, not a theoretical calendar. Readings for
pH, weight and temperature, and actual yield against expected.
WHEN IT GOES WRONG
Fifteen symptoms described the way people actually say them: "the curd will not
set", "my rind is sticky", "it tastes bitter". For each cause: how to check it,
what can still be done, and how to avoid it next time.
EQUIPMENT WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK
Twenty-five entries, from essential to semi-professional, each with a budget
alternative and what can be replaced by something already in your kitchen. Tick
what you own: the recipes remember.
EVERYTHING WORKS OFFLINE
Recipes, reference sheets, timers and cellar need no network. Nothing is sent to
a server, no account is ever asked for, and your data stays on your device —
exportable as readable JSON whenever you want.
French and English, light and dark themes, scalable type, and a layout that holds
up on an iPhone as well as on an iPad.
