Italian Cheesemaking: Ricotta – Saturday, 23rd March 2024

Description

Ricotta is one of the most rewarding products to make at home and tastes like heaven (you will never buy store bought ricotta again)!

In this class, you will learn to make fresh ricotta using a vegetable rennet. We will then use our freshly made ricotta to create three dishes for a delicious lunch; baked ricotta for an antipasto to start, our main will include Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni (we will make fresh pasta for this dish), and to end, a ricotta cake.

This cooking class is mostly hands-on, with some demonstration.

Angela Palermo, founder & teacher of The Village Cooks, trained as a pastry chef and has worked for the likes of Rachel Grisewood, Sam Marineve, Lorraine Godsmark, and Andy Bunn. Her cooking and baking is heavily influenced by her Italian heritage and growing up in a family that grew its own food and created dishes from their own produce. Angela shares her love of simple, home-style cooking & baking with students at her cooking school, The Village Cooks, Sydney.
