Slowing down and making things from scratch is one of life's simple pleasures. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how a few basic ingredients can be transformed into everyday kitchen staples, giving you more control over what goes into your food while helping you to reduce waste. It's a chance to reconnect with the process, embrace simplicity and take home practical skills you can use every day.
In this class, you'll learn how to make buttermilk ricotta, yoghurt, labne, marinated labne, cultured butter and a simple hard cheese 'ricotta salata' for you to mature at home. We'll also explore creative ways to use the leftover whey, ensuring nothing goes to waste. To finish, I'll show you how to incorporate our freshly made cheese into a shared lunch, celebrating the flavours of the season and the satisfaction of food made by hand.
