Our day starts with coffee/tea and cake, 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! -
