Historical cheese making and bread baking class














If you would like to register for this class please contact us at mkavroulakis@gmail.com or fill out the Booking Form  to send you further information.  


The class explores the history of cheese making and learns how to make rennet, vinegar and plant juice-based cheese curds and re-create an ancient Greek goat and sheep cheese recipe.

It is then taken through the many aspects involved in creating different types of period breads- from making sourdough to kneading and from baking to using the bread as an ingredient in various dishes-  using period cookbooks and other primary sources. The breads are baked on hot stones, in a replica of a 5th-century pnigeus (portable earthenware oven), on a replica of a Byzantine portable grill, and in the heat of a traditional wood-fired oven.



Numbers are limited to  8 participants, so that your experience is as hands-on as possible. 
The class lasts around 4 hours  (10:00 - 14:00)

Different themes and recipes are available depending on season and request
