Ooohh! Let's Make Fresh Cheese! Saturday April 24th 10 am -12 noon
It's so easy to make fresh soft cheese with cow or goat milk and culture. We will go through the simple processes of making a fresh cheese like Chevre or Fromage Blanc. Unlike cheese that needs to be aged and carefully tended for months, fresh cheeses are ready to eat within a day and can be easily incorporated into any kitchen routine using basic kitchen equipment. After the basics are discussed and demonstrated, we will get our hands pleasantly dirty by rolling freshly made cheese into fresh chopped herbs and toasted almonds. At the end of the class we will taste a variety of home prepared cheeses paired with fruit and nuts. Informational handouts and resource list included. The cost for this class is $50 and will include a copy of Ricki Carroll's 278 page 'Home Cheese Making' book and one packet of culture of your choice!! Register early.This class has been wildly popular!
