Date: Wednesday, November 5, 10 am-1:00 pm
Discover the delicious world of artisan cheese with Chef Laura, whose approachable, why-focused teaching style brings depth and clarity to this timeless craft. Trained at a farmstead dairy in Vermont and with experience launching an artisan creamery in Australia, Laura combines expertise and warmth to guide first-time cheesemakers and curious cooks alike.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of home cheesemaking using a variety of milks and accessible techniques. Together, we’ll make whole milk ricotta, tangy marinated feta, and a selection of fresh goat cheeses—with professional tips to ensure success from the start.
After the cheesemaking, we’ll sit down to enjoy a seasonal lunch featuring your creations: fresh farmer’s market salad, rustic bread, and pasta cooked in flavorful whey. You’ll leave with recipes, techniques, and the confidence to continue making cheese at home.
You’ll take home:
- A jar of your own marinated feta
- Recipes and written cheesemaking notes
