All Things Mozzarella
One of
our most popular classes! Discover the secret to making
mozzarella cheese right in your own home. You even get a piece
of curd to take home to practice.
This class will focus on the technique and then we will layer it
in a Tomato Caprese Salad with a wonderful Balsamic Dressing
with golden raisins, make Panini sandwiches and a simple
stovetop Vegetable Lasagna. For the Panini, we will learn to
roast red peppers and make a basil pesto. The fresh mozzarella
will also be tossed into an Arugula Salad with tomatoes and our
best Balsamic Vinaigrette. You will also learn how simple the
salad dressing is to prepare.
For dessert, Pear Crisp with Amaretti Topping and a
dollop of homemade whipped cream. It doesn’t get better than
that.
