Cheese Making Workshop
Thursday, 27th March, 6pm to 8pm at Riverside Community in Lower Moutere.
Join seasoned Cheese Maker Tanja Pauls for a workshop on making a mild Swiss-style hard cheese that ripens in just a few weeks. With decades of experience, Tanja has helped many participants successfully create their own cheese at home, emphasising a simple and enjoyable approach to food.
In this 2-hour session at our commercial kitchen, Tanja will prepare cheese in advance for sampling. You'll also make Paneer and learn valuable tips from renowned raw milk cheese-maker David Asher, shared during his visit last year.
This workshop will boost your confidence to replicate the cheese-making process at home and encourage ingredient experimentation. Demonstrations is blended with hands-on activities, allowing for both engagement and relaxation.
Bring a friend and an appetite, and leave with a newfound inspiration to make cheese in your very own kitchen!
Limited to 12 participants. $35 total per participant. Bookings close Tuesday, 25th March at 2pm. Book here: www.riverside.org.nz...
This workshop is proudly sponsored by the Riverside Community Trust. Please contact Tanja (at education@riverside.org.nz) for workshop questions or to ask about sponsorship options.

This is critical for infants, young children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.’
