Join us for a hand-on workshop where you’ll master the art of cheese making and crafting with Kristen Allan guiding you through:
Feta - including marinated Persian feta
Halloumi
Mascarpone
We'll take a deep dive into the story of milk, beginning with life in the soil, how different seasons and type of animal influence it's composition and how to source and select the best quality, local milk for making cheese.
Tickets £145 - Bookable through guardswell.co.uk/store/p/cheesemaking-workshop-lunch-farm-tour-with-kristen-allan
Included in the workshop:
A Guardswell Farm tour, discussing regenerative farming and sustainable dairy production.
A seasonal lunch with beautiful, local produce. This will be hosted in the Glasshouse (weather permitting) and prepared alongside Kristen.
Recipes and notes to take home to refer to on your cheese-making journey.
All the wonderful cheese you create !
Kristen will share with you a collection of mouth-watering recipes that showcase the cheese we make in the class, plus all her marvellous ways to use the leftover whey.
These classes are small and intimate with ample opportunity for questions, one-on-one guidance and all Kristen's tips and troubleshooting tricks. All this can only develop and strengthen your understanding and serve you well in your home kitchen.
The workshop is hosted in Guardswell’s beautiful demonstration kitchen, which has panoramic views over The Carse of Gowrie. Each student has their own workspace, plus all equipment and ingredients are provided.
