Soft Cheese Making Class!

Soft Cheese Making with Master Cheese-Maker Mark Soloman

If you missed his last class... We are delighted to have Mark back! You will make three (3) different cheeses in class; yogurt cheese, (So wonderful there will be NO going back!)  ricotta, and mozzarella.  In addition, you will learn to make at least three (3) other cheeses; chevre, quark, and cream cheese. You'll find that all these cheeses can be made with a minimum of equipment (and effort) in your home. Mark will provide instruction on the “science” of cheese-making, along with troubleshooting hints for common cheese-making mistakes, discussion of the necessary cheese-making equipment and achieving excellent results in your very own kitchen.
All the cheeses made will be served and sampled in class.  There will be plenty of cheese, so bring your appetite!
