Cheese is delicious, nutritious and making your own is a very satisfying and money saving skill. Chef Tim will get you started with this addictive hobby as you learn to make some simple cheeses you can easily make at home. This is part two of our cheesemaking series, in which Tim will show you three different types of homemade cheese.

Tim will cover:

Overview of cheesemaking basics
Ingredients and equipment needed
Hands-on demonstrations of three cheeses - Persian fetta, Greek yoghurt and marinated labneh
Recipes and demonstrations of a few recipes using these cheeses

There will be plenty of tastings as well as tips and advice on where to get the best ingredients, cheesemaking supplies and equipment + recipes to take home.
