Sourdough & Cheese Weekend
Bake Bread, Craft Cheese, Live Deliciously!
Friday to Sunday: 22-24 January 2027
One of the most difficult aspects of switching to a plant-based diet is to rid oneself of ‘the dairy cheese addiction’ - it is real!
In this workshop we’ll find alternatives that satisfy this growth hormone dependency.
We’ll make soft and hard cheeses, playing with variations in between, setting various nut and seed ingredients with the help of heat, gelling agents and pure protein - without adding any of the numerous commercial additives.
***
If you are keen on learning how to make a regular everyday sourdough bread, some muffins from the same starter, and maybe even some crispy biscuits (made from starter discard) to lift a delicious cheese dip - then this weekend is for you!
You’ll get to meet Joey — our mother starter. She has been part of The Seeding Kitchen for over 7 years - a living culture nurtured with flour, water and time. We will create Joey’s offspring — individual starters for each participant to take home.
Apart from baking bread we’ll also make focaccia, pancakes and other creative bakes.
Sourdough is more than bread. It is a lesson in patience, a relationship with living food and a reminder that beautiful things grow when we give them time and care.
