Hello from Maybelle Farm! On Wednesday July 25 we had just a wonderful day at the Cheese Making Workshop at the Wardsboro Town Hall. Carol Lake from Dancing Dog Farm in Dublin, N.H. taught a fantastic class. We learned to make four kinds of cheese using only a gallon of milk and a quart of yogurt. The first was from plain yogurt called labneh. She flavored half of the labneh with plain salt to sample with crackers. The other half she mixed with mint, dill, cucumber, lemon juice and salt. Both were delicious and everyone enjoyed being able to eat these samples. Next we did a lemon, honey dessert cheese that I really loved. You can adjust the amount of lemon juice, lemon zest and honey you add to this to suit your taste. The next one was a pressed cheese from India called paneer. You press it into a mold and you cut it in pieces to eat - it is similar in texture to tofu. You can cut it, roll it in Panko and fry it. The final cheese we made was a quick and easy ricotta. As you can tell, everyone had a lot of fun eating our way through this class. There was also plenty left over for everyone to take home some samples.
Carol does a wonderful job presenting this class and I would strongly recommend anyone with an interest in cheese to sign up for this class. This was such a great day for me as I have been working so much and haven't really had any down time. Thank you to everyone that signed up for the class. Check out the pictures and watch for more upcoming classes.
