Overview

Now that you've seen how many cafes, bars and restaurants have popped up in the Hills region, you shouldn't be surprised by the fact that Castle Towers shopping centre is running a new program called The Cooking School over April and May—a series of food-focused events, workshops and cooking classes.

Part of the range of food culture workshops is Bocconcini & Bubbles—a workshop where you can learn the art of Italian cheesemaking with the Omnom Cheese Company, all the while sipping on a glass of bubbly.

During a hands-on class you'll learn how to create your own bocconcini from scratch and take it home to enjoy later (perhaps with another glass of bubbly). According to Omnom founder Marly Schimmelschmidt, bocconcini (as well as burrata and mozzarella) is one of the easiest and fastest cheeses to whip up in your own kitchen. Even with limited kitchen equipment and store-bought milk, it's easy to make your own in just one hour.

The workshop will cover everything from milk selection to coagulation and turning milk curds into oozy burrata and stretchy bocconcini or mozzarella. You'll leave with recipe cards and half a kilogram of your own freshly made bocconcini, burrata and mozzarella. Delicious and informative—get your tickets here.
