THIS CLASS IS BEING TAUGHT LIVE OVER ZOOM. YOU WILL NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION AND SMART DEVICE TO STREAM THIS CLASS (PHONE, IPAD, COMPUTER, TABLET).

In this class, we’ll be making cottage cheese, whey ricotta, and butter! Class cost includes a starter kit of specialized cheese-making supplies you will pick up from Well Bread several days before the class. These ingredients are necessary to make the cheeses in this class. All other equipment and ingredients are the responsibility of the student.

Class cost does not include milk, cream, and salt which can be found at any grocery store and you will purchase the day before class. You will need the use of a stove-top, stand-mixer or hand-mixer, an accurate thermometer (digital is preferred), a large pot with lid, colander/sieve, ladle and spatula for stirring, a long knife, measuring spoons (1/8tsp, 1/4tsp), and storage containers for your finished cheeses and butter. Butter making requires the use of a stand mixer (whip attachment) or hand-held mixer (beaters attachment) – if you don’t have one, borrow from a friend or buy one before the class.

Chef Cat is thrilled to introduce Dr. Jill Johnstone, biologist, and fellow cheese-geek! Dr. Jill will be leading this class and explaining all the microbiological processes that are going on in the pot creating your cheese. If you’ve ever wondered how we turn milk into cheese and other delicious dairy products this is the class for you!
