The whey of a good meal

It seems like every day, there’s a new food-related reason to celebrate. Tonight, Lisa Shara Hall will be here to teach of one her amazing wine classes. Tomorrow night, a local chef shows that there’s nothing as satisfying as making your own cheese. Michele Knaus will be here to unlock the mystery behind cheese making. Making your own cheese is fun, interesting, and delicious. Michele will walk us through all of the basics, from purchasing the necessary ingredients to pressing the cheese.
The class you will make three classic Italian soft cheeses; mozzarella, ricotta, and mascarpone. Class will conclude with a light meal of an antipasto platter with your homemade mozzarella and ricotta, paired with wine. Even better than a meal based on cheese- you will have samples of all three cheeses to take home. And, it's just about the perfect time, since August is National Goat Cheese Month. Who knew?
