Discover the art of cheese-making and participate in this informative class with Louise Talbot, founder of Cutting the Curd. With a concentration on provenance and understanding the food process from end to end, you’ll not only be able to craft your own cheese from scratch, but also develop an understanding of the process, and taste the difference in quality of hand-crafted food for yourself.
After exploring the early history
of cheese and how it is made, you will learn how to produce a range of artisan cheeses including camembert, labneh and a very exciting addition; Louise has developed a recipe for our very own Leiths cheddar.
With all recipes being easy to recreate at home with minimal equipment, you’ll soon be making your own artisan cheeses with confidence.

Class structure
Cooking with your classmates is an integral part of your Leiths experience. You will cook some of your recipes in pairs, and some independently – whatever the ratio, there is always more than enough food, and often food to take home too (foil containers and bags provided).
Your day will comprise of a mixture of hands on cookery and demonstrations performed by the chef who is running the session. The exact format will vary from class to class depending on the style of cuisine and, in the case of visiting chefs, their individual teaching style.
Unless otherwise stated, you will be eating the food that you have cooked during your class for lunch, usually with wine or elderflower cordial around a communal table. If your class does not involve cooking lunch you will enjoy delicious sharing platters prepared by the school.

Great day, very professional I would highly recommend. Lunch was lovely and the teacher was very knowledgeable. All the staff were so friendly.

I LOVED it. I had such an interesting and entertaining day. Louise and Corinne were smashing, especially when my halloumi took a nose dive. I've already recommended the cheese course to friends, one of whom is looking into going along herself.
