Alton Brown Cooks Food | Episode 26: Moo Part 1
My culinary liquid of choice. A complex colloidal dispersion capable of being converted into sauces, custards, gels, baked goods and myriad more. I’m still working on the martini, but let’s start with cottage cheese and cheesecake!
Thanks again to our first sponsor (and sponsor of this entire Moo Series) – Georgia Dairy Farmers!

never been a fan of cottage cheese.
I love cottage cheese. I'm leaving for the store right now!
I really dislike cottage cheese, but I love yogurt. Weird? Probably. Yogurt is also easy to make if you have an Instant Pot. I prefer soy milk. Weird? Maybe. It’s a health thing. So I make soy milk yogurt. Hmmm, tastes like…yogurt.
Wholey based
I really hope you do the ricotta episode soon! I love that stuff but it’s hard to get where I am. I tried your French onion dip by the by and it was amazing!
The modern milk insurrection going on boggles my mind, what an incredible versatile (and tasty) food.
So glad you did this episode! We just started getting milk from our goats, and I'm looking forward to all the things we can make now!
One of my favorite ways to eat cottage cheese is with a decent sprinkling of both white and black sesame seeds and a pinch of Maldon salt.
Congratulations on your first sponsor! And thank you to Georgia Dairy Farmers for helping bring back the Good Eats style of education and entertainment we all love.
Made the cottage cheese and the cheese cake today (also in Georgia, by the way). Very good!
Oh the “martini” part… you need to get ahold of some Canadian VODKOW VODKA. Their “vodka and creme” is also a nice alternative for those of us liking a martini so dirty it’s called a Baileys, hold the olive please. 😉
How dare you not take a bite of that glorious cheesecake sir.
I made cottage cheese for a science project in junior high. My father was in grad school and we lived in a very small student apartment. My mother was convinced it would stink. As a very low number of young teens on campus, I earned walking around money by babysitting my father’s classmates’ plants, pets and kids. Mom told me I had to make the cottage cheese in a neighbor’s apartment, where I was caring for something for a week.
I like cottage cheese and have since the 70s. What I made wasn’t very good. I made gallons of yogurt in the aughts. Until very recently, most cottage cheeses had so much crap in them that they just tasted terrible. I’ve made my own ricotta. Maybe it’s time to revisit cottage cheese. And then some ricotta! Thanks GA dairy board!
@theplantslant2431 now you can make your own cottage cheese
My-cells
I love science Alton. Science Alton is best Alton.
I want liam to run this recipe.
Thank you Georgia Dairy Farms and Alton! This was a great video. 😁
Congrats on the sponsorship!
I am so glad to see this! I group on Mayfield Cottage Cheese and tomatoes and lately, cottage cheese that I purchase has been tasting “gamey”. I have tried several different brands and ended up throwing them all out. I am going to MAKE MY OWN.
I'm upset the first sponsor was not Nord VPN.
Look at this guy, makin’ dem sponsorship bucks! This is a no-brainer, I have to try it.
Would the cheesecake work in an aluminum pan submerged in a larger aluminum pan? Great episode, thank you!
Good match to the Georgia Dairy Farmers Association as a sponsor. I hope this is either a long term relationship or the first of many (depending on your contract). Cheers!
While I normally like Alton and really enjoy his content, this is not cottage cheese. It is actually Paneer (Indian fresh cheese) or Queso Blanco (Latin American white cheese) . If you make it, thinking it will taste like Daisy or other cottage cheeses you buy in the dairy aisle, you will be disappointed as the curds in this have a rubbery texture that is difficult to break apart in the mouth unlike real cottage cheese that is made with cultured buttermilk and rennet.
CONGRATS ? on the first sponsor?
@AltonBrown you’re obviously the king of the kitchen. But I know you’re also a movie guy. IF you did a video talking about movies I’d subscribe so hard
Another great video!
How does one get small curds? I want the small dry curds of my childhood. I have dreams of the version that came with chives.
Jewish
great show. awesome recipes. nice wristwatch. what kind?
"I don't like using a stand mixer and a food processor at the same time it's like pretending to be rich or something" Alton you are rich, didn't you do a video in a plane? Granted it wasn't an operational plane but you did imply that it was your plane
OMG ITs a mic i thought you had broken glasses lol
talk to @Nilered if you want to make a milk Martini.
Alton, on behalf of my college apartment that would watch your show religiously for 3 years, thank you for good eats, and thank you for coming back.
Dairy proteins want to kill me, but I love this show.
There’s an Oregon vodka made from milk curds, or some other byproduct of the milk industry. Maybe from Hood River. Maybe you’ll be able to get a sponsorship from them. Maybe you can donate to the cats portion of the American Humane Society, okay?
Cottage cheese and pineapple are the only food Judy Garland was allowed to eat in the canteen when she was making I think Meet me in St. Louis. It might have been The Wizard of Oz.
Yay, AB gets his sponsor! Also, I never knew I needed to know how to make homemade cottage cheese, but here we are… This has become my weekend morning "cartoons" except ya know better… and tastier
"One time I saw a chilled pint of half-and-half make a whole box of thin mints disappear"
Sounds like something so decadent, it's liable to be on a person's…last meal
@theplantslant2431 Good culture might be your favorite but you should try this Homemade. And Alton is the best and my favorite host of all time. Trust.
I just discovered the milk in my fridge is slightly off and this is perfect timing
I will straight up eat a 750g tub of cottage cheese for dinner with nothing but some hot sauce and salt.
So this is what my boyfriend gets up to on wednesday nights. Maybe I'll try cottaging for myself sometime!
You have angered Liam. As penance, we need a beans episode.
Check out Black Cow Vodka, made from milk 🎉
Colloidal DISPERSIONS RoCk!!!!!!!!! and so do GS Thin Minty'ZZZ …. I prefer 🐫 🐫 milk here in Saudi
OMFG the martini tattoo
I've not seen viewers this happy that a channel got sponsored! As only Alton can, he made it interesting to us, and not too long.
Thanks for sharing this one.
#theplantslant2431 hay liam
