Cooking Class - The Basics of Cheesemaking

What You’ll Do

Craft mozzarella and ricotta cheese from scratch in this intro to cheesemaking class.

In this introductory cooking class, you'll learn how to make fresh mozzarella and ricotta cheese under the guidance of Chef Laura. Simple cheeses contain simple ingredients, and you'll be delighted by how easy it is to create fresh cheese with a bit of milk, salt and acidity.

Once you've hand-pulled the mozzarella and whipped up the ricotta, you'll create an heirloom tomato and mozzarella salad with pesto as well as savory ricotta and mushroom toast. Finish the class with refreshing ricotta ice cream infused with pistachios and berries.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Me and my Dad had an amazing time with Chef Laura. We learned a lot and cooked a delicious meal I didn’t know I was capable of making! Highly recommend her class!

Laura was very friendly and knowledgeable. Well prepped and the menu was as advertised. We enjoyed ourselves and the prepared food was very tasty. We did feel a bit rushed both in the preparation and dining experience. Perhaps plan for a bit longer time frame. We appreciated being given the foods that were not consumed that evening.
