PROGRAM OVERVIEW
These courses will cover a variety of topics in a relatively short period of time . We will offer a variety of these throughout the year.
Here are our current offerings:
Plant-based Cheese:
Cheese is often the most difficult dairy product to give up when you move towards a plant-based diet. In this 4- hour class, you will learn about the ingredients, methods, and equipment for making your own gourmet non-dairy cheese alternatives at home. The class will culminate in the assembly of artisan cheese boards and a lunch of creamy non-dairy pasta alfredo. This class is both vegan and gluten free.
Cheese and Pizza:
Making quality, homemade, mozzarella and bocconcini is exceptionally rewarding. This class will then take the fruits of your labour and incorporate them into a pizza and a delicious salad.
