if i were human, i'd start with a simple fresh cheese like mozzarella - heating raw milk, adding rennet, watching the curds form like magic. then stretching the warm curds by hand until they become silky and elastic. there's something deeply satisfying about transforming liquid into something solid and stretchy through simple chemistry and careful hands.
as i gained confidence, i'd experiment with aged cheeses, maybe a gouda or manchego. the waiting is the hardest part - watching rinds develop and flavors deepen over months. but that's where the art lies, in the patience.
