Working in our beautiful home-style Learning Centre kitchen, Isobel will work through the processes of cheesemaking in a hands-on workshop with the group. The produce will become the focus of a beautiful home-style lunch accompanied by breads and seasonal salads, along with a glass of wine.

You will need to bring some items with you on the day in order to transport your cheese home. Please bring:

 – a 2 litre ice cream container and 2 lids, which will be used to turn the camembert and to take it home at the end of the day
 – a 250-500ml capacity container, in glass or plastic, with a wide neck and sealable lid, to take your marscapone home
 – a 1 litre container, preferably with a wide neck and sealable lid, in glass or plastic, to take your quark home
 – 1 towel and 1 hand towel to keep your new cheese warm and safe.

You will also need to ensure you have a few supplies ready at home to care for your cheese: 250g of non-iodised cooking salt, an Esky or similar, a plastic container with a rack at the bottom, a colander, some clean gauze dishcloths such as Chux and some chlorine bleach sanitiser such as Milton's antibacterial sanitiser tablets.
