Sussex Countryside — With Mandy Nolan
The Cheesemaking Workshop

Seven cheeses.
One unforgettable day.

Mandy Nolan has been teaching artisan cheesemaking from her Sussex country house for over a decade. The format has never changed: small groups, real milk, separating the curds from the whey, a delicious lunch served with wine. You will make seven cheeses during the day. You will even take some cheese home. By the end of the day you will know exactly how to make your own cheese in your own kitchen.

Real cheese, made by you, in a Sussex country house.

One-day interactive workshops teach you the skills you need to make fresh cheese at home. Morning refreshments. A long, generous lunch served with wine. A full cheese tasting. Course notes you'll actually use.

You leave with the cheese you made, the recipes to repeat it, and the kind of afternoon that stays with you.
