FETA CHEESE CORNBREAD
My husband lived in post-Ceaucescu Romania for a year and when I visited, cornbreads and cornmeal mush were pretty much on the menu every day. Okay by me -- it was like a taste of Tennessean far from home. I actually prefer this cornbread to most Southern-style cornbreads. The recipe came from Please to the Table, I think, and I usually halve the recipe for a smaller batch.

HOMEMADE FETA CHEESE
If you love making homemade cheese, try your hand at feta. The results are well worth the effort. Use goat or cow milk, or even a mixture of both. To serve, remove from brine and allow the cheese to air-dry before serving.

Steps:
- Combine 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon calcium chloride in a small bowl; mix well.
- Combine 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon rennet in another small bowl; mix well.
- Pour milk into a double boiler set over medium-low heat. Heat milk until it registers 86 degrees F (30 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer. Sprinkle cheese culture on the surface. Allow to dissolve without stirring for a few minutes, then stir well. Cover and keep at 86 degrees F (30 degrees C) for 1 hour.
- Pour calcium chloride mixture into the milk; stir for 1 minute. Add rennet mixture; stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand at room temperature until milk sets into curd, about 1 hour. Press edge of the curd gently with a palette knife or the back of a spoon to check for firmness.
- Cut curd all the way to the bottom of the pot into 1-inch squares. Stir gently with a rubber spatula. Let rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Stir curds, maintaining temperature at 86 degrees F (30 degrees C), until they sink to the bottom of the pot, about 20 minutes. Scoop out liquid (whey) with a ladle and discard or reserve for another use.
- Line 2 basket-style molds with damp cheesecloth. Ladle curds into the molds with a slotted spoon and cover with ends of cheesecloth. Place one mold on top of the other, pressing lightly. Let drain, switching the molds and stirring curds a few times, until cheese is firm, at least 4 hours.
- Mix 8 cups water, sea salt, 1 teaspoon calcium chloride, and white vinegar together in a large container to make brine. Submerge cheese in brine and let soak, at least 8 hours and up to 3 weeks.

FETA CUMIN CORN BREAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Into a large bowl sift together the cornmeal, the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, the salt, and the cumin, add the Feta and the scallion, and toss the mixture well. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the milk, the sugar, and the oil, add the milk mixture to the cormeal mixture, and stir the batter until it is just combined. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, 9 by 5 by 3 inches, and bake the corn bread in the middle of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let the corn bread cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes and run a thin knife around the edges of the pan. Turn the corn bread out onto the rack and let it cool completely. The corn bread may be made 2 days in advance and kept wrapped tightly in foil and chilled.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the taste of your cornbread.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
- Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. This will help it rise and create a crispy crust.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will allow it to set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the cornbread warm with your favorite toppings. Butter, honey, and jam are all classic choices.
