What happens on the day?

Upon arrival to your chosen venue, you’re sure of a warm welcome before starting out on your culinary adventure.

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.

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, and then it’ll be time to taste your handiwork alongside homemade breads, chutneys and oils.
