Mozzarella Workshop for Kids (8 years+)
Sunday, 17th September, 10am to 11.30 am at Riverside Community in Lower Moutere.
This Mozzarella Making Workshop is for cheesy kids! Led by Tanja and Faline, this hands-on exploration will usher kids - aged 8 and above - into the whey-splashed world of homemade cheese. They'll discover the "messy" fun of crafting mozzarella using cow's milk.
Kids will work cooperatively, taking home not just their own round of pizza-ready mozzarella, but a valuable recipe for future cooking escapades.
Safety is a priority! Ensure your child brings a pair of new, well-fitted kitchen gloves as they'll be handling hot water.
Limited to 12 children. $8 per child. Bookings essential: 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.
Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
