Whether you want to impress your friends or hoard your creations all for yourself, The Cheese Maker offers courses to learn how to make your favourite dairy delights at home.



Of course, it's convenient to grab ready-made camembert or tub of mascarpone from the supermarket fridge but so many people enjoy the process of creating a product from scratch themselves and homemade cheeses are sure to impress your friends.



In the Gourmet Delights Cheese Making Course, our teacher, Tanya, stepped us through the process of taking a simple 2 litres of milk to create soft and oozy camembert. We also learned how to make cream cheese, quark and mascarpone and enjoyed tasting the creamy creations throughout the day.



During the full-day class, interspersed between the hands-on cheese making, there is time to enjoy chatting with fellow participants over a delicious lunch and glass of local wine. Many of the participants were attending because they had been gifted the course as a present and judging by how much we all enjoyed the day, I am confident in recommending these workshops as a fantastic gift idea.



The Cheese Maker offers a range of courses . Choose from workshops covering "Classic Delights" (fetta, ricotta, yoghurt, yoghurt cheese and sour cream), "Gourmet Delights" (camembert, cream cheese, quark, and mascarpone), Haloumi, "Soft and Sexy" (Persian fetta and bucheron) and "Farmhouse Cheese" (semi-hard cheeses). Be warned, once you've tried one workshop, it's easy to get hooked on creating your own delicious dairy delights, so it's lucky discounts are offered on subsequent courses.



I was intrigued to hear Tanya's story about how she and a friend were inspired to learn the art and science of cheese making and share their knowledge and tested recipes through courses. Tanya is so good at what she does, she teaches chefs to create restaurant-quality cheeses, so you can be confident, with her recipes and tips provided, you too can make delicious cheeses at home (but if you struggle along the way, the Rescue Helpline is available to seek assistance to avert a potential disaster).

The Cheese Maker offers most courses on the weekend in the Swan Valley (30 minutes from Perth) but some are offered midweek in Perth. They stock all the equipment and cultures required to make your own preservative-free cheese at home.
