Testimonials
Making cheese with Kristen Allan was a highlight for me - I did 3 classes in a row. Kristen teaches cheesemaking from years of experience with a whole lot of heart, in an effortless style that had me gobsmacked at what I was able to create in just a few hours. I loved how much cheese I got to take home with me at the end of each class. Thankyou Kristen for sharing your love for cheese with me and bringing joy into my world. Much gratitude. Tiffany
Kristen is an impeccably generous, attentive and kind teacher. She guided us through a delicious array of cheese, crafted an effortless lunch (beautiful bread, salads, melt-in-your-mouth ricotta!) and held space for all experiences and expertise. Cannot recommend her cheese making classes enough! Sarah
‘Kristen you are a wonder woman! Thank you for sharing your stories from faraway places woven with wit and your deep well of knowledge about the goodness of dairy. Your teachings really have changed the way we think about the dairy we eat. The butter we made was sooooooo bloomin' good on the fruit toast my family devoured this morning.’ Tara
Kristen Allan Cheesemaker is the cheese queen! My boyfriend and I did her mozzarella, burrata & stracciatella class and it was amazing. We have done a few of her cheese making classes before and they are very informative and all hands on. This is the lady to teach you how to make cheese and once you do her class you will find that it is much easier then you think and will never want to buy store bought again! Lots of fun for all ages and no experience needed. Thanks again Kristen you are amazing! Denise
