About this Event
🧀🌿 Join us for a delicious and inspiring Vegan Cheese Masterclass, where you’ll explore the art of making both fermented and non-fermented plant-based cheeses. This hands-on workshop will give you everything you need to start creating your own beautiful vegan cheeses at home.
There are many reasons people choose to avoid dairy — including health, environmental, and ethical considerations. Whatever your reason, this class will show you how easy it is to make flavourful and satisfying cheeses using nuts, seeds, beans, and tofu.
🧂 You will leave the workshop feeling confident in:
- How to make a fermented nut cheese
- How to age fermented vegan cheeses
- The difference between fermented and non-fermented vegan cheeses
- How to harden and shape vegan cheeses
- How to create a beautiful vegan cheese platter
🧀 Vegan Cheeses We’ll Make
Examples of the cheeses we will prepare include: Vegan Boursin, Paprika Cashew Chèvre, Almond Ricotta, Tofu Feta, Seed Parmesan and Almond Mozzarella
We will also make:
- A simple fermented pickle mix to accompany your cheeses
- A delicious vegan chocolate cheesecake for dessert
🍽 Also Included
- A delicious plant-based lunch
- A detailed recipe sheet so you can recreate the cheeses again and again at home
This class will be a mixture of practical cooking, demos and time to ask questions. We are now returning to 'family style' cooking with everyone cooking and sharing workstations. This creates more of a communal and interactive experience, working together as a team. All ingredients, equipments, and containers needed for the class are provided.
