About this Event
Description
Christmas, with cheese at the centre of it.
Friday 18 December has sold out. Four afternoons left.
Grab a glass of fizz, roll up your sleeves and spend three hours in a proper Edinburgh kitchen with one of the world’s great cheeses. Twelve guests, six benches, no cooking skills needed. You’ll eat well, laugh a lot, and go home with a box of things you made yourself.
What you’ll do
🧀 Discover. Taste three ages of Le Gruyère AOP side by side, from young and mellow to deep and crystalline, and find your favourite.
🔥 Bake. Pipe your own gougères, the little Swiss cheese puffs, and pull them warm from the oven.
🍫 Make. Chocolate bark with Le Gruyère AOP, nuts and honeycomb. Yes, cheese and chocolate. Trust us. It’s boxed up for you to take home.
🎄 Curate. Build your own festive pairing board, and steal the ideas for Christmas Day.
🫕 Share. Stir a molten fondue with your bench partner, then dive in from your own pot.
