The first few times I made this, it worked great! But the last few batches I've made didnt. The solids arent seperating from the whey like before, and it just all runs through the cheesecloth for a total waste. Im using the same milks and salt and vinegar that i always use...what am i doing wrong?

Look folks, you can call it what you want. It's super delicious, as all Ina's recipes are, works as ricotta (I think it is ricotta and works in all my recipes. So, it's RICOTTA! Ina never disappoints. It's YUM! Just enjoy and forget the reviews.

It's a good recipe. It's not ricotta, it's a farmer's cheese. 'Ricotta' means re-cooked, and traditionally it's made by recooking the whey after making mozzarella. That said, this is an easy recipe with a delicious end-product.

Edit: on further review, I have to give this the full five stars. Yeah, technically, it's not ricotta. So what? It's easy to make and insanely delicious. Everytime I make lasagna with this, my reaction on taking the first bite is 'It can't be this good... nothing could possibly be this good...' I'd give it six stars if I could.

Although this tastes very good, it's not ricotta. As someone already stated, ricotta is made from the whey. But as a soft farmers cheese, this is great!

Still trying to recover from this brillant cheese! I will NEVER buy store bought ricotta cheese again. Who knew this was so easy? Absolute comforting delirium. My thoughts are spinning with topping ideas and I am going to have to just sit down with a pen and paper and write them all down. And don't even get me started on homemade manicotti,stuffed shells,ravioli, cheesecake............ I feel faint :

Super simple and delicious! I made it exactly like the recipe and used a good wjite wine vinegar. It had a creamy texture and was delicious! No vinegary taste like some of the other reviews. I will definitely make this again. I'll NEVER use another ricotta for my homemade lasagna.

Amazing. A must try. Great, easy, simple recipe that I've used to just make some herbed cheese for bread and wine at home or to bring to a dinner party. This year I'm making some to bring to a friend's Thanksgiving and it is always a crowd pleaser. Also, it is a really creative dish. After you make the cheese you can add in anything you want - herbs, or cranberries and orange peel... just pick a theme and go with it! This year I'm doing herbed cheese with a toasted boule or francese bread and some vinho verde from Portugal to get the appetite going this Thursday. Happy Thanksgiving all!
