Holy-Loumi: Express Haloumi Making with Bubbles

Overview

If you love cheese, but are sick of spending the bulk of your paycheque on it, here's a solution: go to a cheese making class. Sure, it'll cost you pretty penny to attend, but then you'll have the knowledge to make endless cheese at home, whenever you want.

Omnom Cheese Shop is hosting a series of these cheese making classes at its Rosebery digs. On top of its Bubbles, Burrata & Bocconcini class, it runs a haloumi making workshop. At the 120-minute class, you'll learn to pick and treat milk, turn it into curd and then turn that curd into salty, squeaky haloumi — while sipping endless bubbles. Yep, unlimited sparkling wine while you cook.

The classes will set you back $89 a person, but that includes the endless booze as well as around 250 grams of your own handmade cheese to take home.

Hot tip: the cheese making sessions regularly sell out, so round up your mates and book one in before it's too late.
