“To those who consider life something other than a monstrous belly with a golden navel for all to worship;
To those who have tasted and preferred renunciation, simplicity and freedom;
To those who make an art of living;
To those who cultivate poverty as a spiritual exercise whatever their religion;
To those who find in each moment a life to live for;
To the unwilling poor, victims of society, property, climate, injustice, ignorance, overpopulation, stupidity, evil or dumb pride;
Because it is clear that peoples kitchens all over the world have learned to adapt to what’s available
and from the nearly nothing at their disposal make more than just enough to live on, make sturdy, simple pleasures and elemental feasts.”
-The People’s Cook Book, by James Kardon

January 21st - Learn to make Raw Mozzarella/Ricotta/Burrata Cheesemaking Class Plus Wine Tasting!! with Charlotte Smith of Champoeg Creamery 1-4pm
(Burrata means “buttered” in Italian and is mozzarella filled with soft cheese such as ricotta or mascarpone)
Learn to make mozzarella, ricotta and burrata cheese from raw milk fresh from the farm. The best way to learn cheesemaking is doing just this - to actually help make cheese & experience what each step looks & feels like - both the art & science of cheesemaking. We will cover everything from the coagulation process of turning milk into firm curds to rolling up your sleeves to turn those curds into milky, smooth balls of mozzarella. Enjoy a glass of wine as you taste and learn.
I also carry an assortment of fine cheesemaking supplies - you will be able to purchase the basics you need and along with your newly acquired cheesemaking knowledge will be able to go home and make your own batch of any of theese cheeses!
Classes are limited to 10 participants so we can have lots of hands-on participation. If you’re interested in attending this class your $65 payment will be your reservation as well as a $10 gift certificate towards your first round of supplies, as I know from experience it will fill quickly. To register call or email Charlotte at 503-860-6286 or [email protected]
