Hi Ambika, welcome to the New Homemakers. I am also a stay-at-home mum with two daughters, over the water from you in Scotland.

I make cheese with buffalo milk for my daughter who is cow's milk intolerant and I've never been sure what to do with the whey. You get an awful lot when you make cheese using milk. My DH uses it sometimes for breadmaking, but we usually end up pouring rather a lot away. Does anyone have any good pickle recipes they could post?

Zillah
