What’s the culinary mountain you have yet to climb?

I’ve spent the better part of the last year trying to convince my wife that I can safely make cheese in our basement. I’m envisioning a small cheese fridge somewhere between the laundry machine and shelves of holiday decorations.

She’s not sold on the concept. And frankly, I haven’t pushed very hard because the idea of making cheese on a large scale is slightly terrifying to me. Because as Serious Eats recently asked, this is my culinary white whale — the kitchen task that I haven’t yet managed to tackle.
