I'd love to make homemade ricotta. Anyone have a recipe??? Where do you buy rennet?
You don't actually need rennet for Ricotta - you can use lemon juice. I make whole-milk Ricotta so I don't need the whey from a batch of mozzarella either.
Sorry for the super late reply. Yes, that's the one I got. Basic, but definitely does the trick. My local homebrew supply store also carries it and replacement ingredients too, which is pretty handy.
I make a few different cheeses. The whey is really fantastic used in place of water or milk in bread recipes. I also use the whey in some sauce recipes that call for canned chicken stock with delicious results.
It is tasty to just drink it cold.

No need for rennet. Basically just heat milk and curdle with acid. You can use any acid. Lemon juice is popular but if you want a more neutral taste you can use white vinegar.
I often use the whey for risotto or soup. I *never* throw it out.

Really. That stuff is liquid gold in the kitchen.
