Event Description

One morning, two cheeses! Learn the basics of how to make soft cheeses.

I can have 6 people at my house for a soft cheese gathering.

We'll make mozzarella and ricotta, so you'll all be ready to whip up the best lasagna you've ever had when you return to your own kitchens.

We'll be using locally produced raw milk.

Attendees will be able to bring home samples of each type of cheese.

I'll provide the main course for lunch. Can someone else bring salad? And another person bring bread?

Please indicate any dietary restrictions on your RSVP.

We will start at 9:00am sharp. See Google map posted above for directions.

Wheyfully yours,

Kate

Comment by Shirley and Bob Barton on May 3, 2010 at 8:08am: I don't think the Schefflers have a website, but their phone number is 898-5137. Eileen Scheffler is a member of Ithacan. Again they have certified organic raw milk and meats and sometimes veggies at very reasonable prices. They also sell to Organic Valley.

Comment by Katie Quinn-Jacobs on May 3, 2010 at 5:44am: Soft cheese attendees...I made copies of the recipes we used, but then forgot to give them to you all! If you'd like me to mail 'em to you (snail mail), let me know.

Here's some helpful links:
Ricki Carroll (Cheese Queen) aka New England Cheesemaking
Meadowsweet Farm
(Shirley, if you have the website for the farm in Groton, pass it along...)

Hope y'all go out and make some soft cheeses of your own!

Comment by Katie Quinn-Jacobs on April 29, 2010 at 7:14am: Soft Cheesers: In addition to bringing two 1 cup containers for cheese, if you'd like to take some whey home bring a quart jar with lid.

Comment by Shirley and Bob Barton on April 26, 2010 at 11:37am: Hey Kate!
I'll bring a salad or something else if you want.

Comment by Katie Quinn-Jacobs on April 26, 2010 at 10:56am: How about a crusty bread? Thanks, Lindsay.

Comment by Lindsay Wyatt on April 26, 2010 at 10:52am: I'll be there - do you want me to bring anything for lunch?

Comment by Katie Quinn-Jacobs on April 26, 2010 at 10:44am: Soft cheesemaking gathering is coming up this Saturday, May 1st. We'll start right a 9am. Come a tad early if you like. Please bring two small containers (1 cup) for take home mozzarella & ricotta. See ya then, Kate

Comment by Katie Quinn-Jacobs on March 11, 2010 at 1:16pm: Shirley, we'll be using locally produced raw milk in this workshop, so you won't need to bring your own.

For soft cheeses at home, you'll need some rennet, citric acid, cheesecloth, a colander, large stainless pot and a good thermometer (40°-240° range).

Comment by Shirley and Bob Barton on March 11, 2010 at 1:09pm: Hi Kate, I'll bring salad. May I bring my own milk (raw, organic.) Actually, are there other things like cheesecloth that I should get so that I could continue to make cheese at home?
