More about the workshop:

Farmers’ Cheeses (aka Paneer, Queso Blanco)

Versions of farmers’ cheeses like paneer and queso blanco are widely used around the world for many reasons; they’re delicious and incredibly easy to make. These cheeses soak up spices and sauces and since they don’t melt, you can sauté, broil, simmer them and more. Include them in curries and more for delicious vegetarian protein!

These cheeses can be made in an hour and customized with herbs and spices for variety. Great to make with and for children! You just need your favorite milk and acid of choice- most other things are commonly found in kitchens.

Claudia Lucero is a local cheesemaker and owner of Urban Cheesecraft.
