What happens on the day?

Upon arrival to your chosen venue, you’ll join the rest of the group and the expert chef who will be leading the session. You’ll start by discussing the dishes to be created, before getting kitted out in your apron and hands washed. Once briefed, everyone will be asked to join the chef in small groups at a time, to ensure maximum knowledge is gained to recreate the recipes (emailed to you within 24 hours) at home.

The event is a mix of demonstration and participation based learning, which will see you participate in small groups with a chef to ensure maximum knowledge is gained. You’ll get to grips with making a variety of soft cheeses including mozzarella, ricotta and paneer, as well as getting creative with your own infused soft cheeses. Taste your cheesy creations alongside homemade breads, chutneys and oils that you’ll also make during the session.

All menus are samples and will be as advertised on the timetable for the day chosen.
