Mild, milky, smooth, and irresistibly silky- there’s nothing quite like fresh mozzarella. In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to craft this Italian favourite from scratch.
We’ll begin with the fundamentals, as Chef John demonstrates how milk transforms into curds, giving you a clear understanding of the cheesemaking process. Then it’s your turn to get hands-on - stretching, folding, and shaping curds into beautiful mozzarella and burrata.
Along the way, you’ll learn how to select the right curd, master water temperature, season correctly, and perfect the techniques needed to create your own soft, glossy cheese.
To finish, we’ll enjoy your freshly made mozzarella paired with bruschetta- simple, delicious, and the perfect way to celebrate your new skills. You’re welcome to enjoy your cheese on the spot or take it home to savor later.
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. You will be seated with your booking party. BYOB is welcome, so for those over 21+ please feel free to bring your own beer and wine. Beer and wine will also be available for purchase from the hotel's market. Bring your curiosity and appetite!
