The class I’ve been promising for a while. Sit back, relax and feast.
Join me for a relaxed day of festive cooking and cheesemaking, centred around a generous lunch with plenty of delicious dishes to share.
I’ll be doing most of the cooking and demonstrating throughout the day, while we’ll also get hands-on with some simple cheesemaking. You can sit back, enjoy the food and pick up practical skills, recipes and ideas along the way.
We’ll explore delicious ways to cook and entertain over the festive season, from making fresh cheese to creating beautiful dishes that are perfect for sharing. Expect a relaxed day of good food, conversation and plenty of inspiration to take home.
On the menu:
Clementine and star anise whey soda
Focaccia with cultured butter
Marinated labne with roast carrots and crispy chickpeas
Slow cooked brisket in whey with soft polenta (or mushrooms and taleggio for VEG)
Kale, apple, buttermilk ricotta & candied walnuts
Quince & honey galette with mascarpone
I recommend you come hungry!
- This intimate class starts with tea and coffee and some baked treats and a chat about how the day will unfold. Then it’s time to roll up your sleeves and feel your whey through the curds. We work in small groups so there’s usually plenty of banter and laughter, and time for one-on-one attention.
By lunchtime, as we sit around a table, stories and favourite recipes are shared and then with a smile and a full belly, it’s back into the kitchen to start stretching our curds.
And what makes my cheese making classes all the more special and insightful, I’ll give you an abundance of recipes and remedies for the leftover whey. You’ll be taking it home by the bucket load!Suitable for: Absolute beginners with the busiest of lifestyles and the smallest of urban kitchens, passionate home cooks and experienced chefs.You’ll take home: A comprehensive recipe booklet, plus all the knowledge and inspiration you’ll need to make everything confidently at home. -
