Cheesemaking Class & Kit
Cheesemaking Class & Kit
If you've been wanting to try your hand at cheesemaking, here's your chance. Long-time CGFC instructor Anna Barnes is returning to teach you how to make quick mozzarella and mascarpone just in time to pair with summer basil, tomatoes, and peaches. You can use equipment you already have in your kitchen: a nonreactive pot and bowl, fine colander, clean kitchen gloves, and a reliable thermometer. The $30 class kit will include the local Kilgus Farmstead milk, cream, culturing agents (all vegetarian), and butter muslin for collecting the curd. Plus, all proceeds from this class will benefit Jubilee Cafe at Community United Church of Christ in the heart of campus in Champaign. Jubilee Cafe is an all volunteer program that provides a free Monday night meal to anyone in need.
